U.S. fumes as Saddam hikes rewards

Iraqi leader now offering $25,000 to family of Mideast bombers


MSNBC NEWS SERVICES

April 3 — Saddam Hussein has increased money for the relatives of suicide bombers from $10,000 to $25,000, drawing sharp criticism from Washington. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said that Saddam’s payments inspire a “culture of political murder.” But Palestinians say the bombers are driven by a priceless thirst for revenge, religious zeal and dreams of glory — not greed.

Both communism and fascism deny people basic human rights, and set up a wide reaching organization of terror, neighborhood spies, and imprisonment. The people usually hate dictatorships because they suffer from the poverty and abuse of those dictatorships.

In the Arab case, the Arab people are brainwashed by their oil rich rulers to blame their misery on Israel.

Castro's brutal and very wealthy "comrades" will make sure that they retain power, long after Castro dies, even if it is by very brutal means. The Arab nations work the same way.

What if people like Communism, for example the Israelis that live in a kibbutz?
