On Saddam's Capture & The state of The USA

The world has lost it's latest reclusive mad man. Many are claiming this as the defining moment of President Bush's presidential time thus far. I say this means nothing. I say that the United States must stop playing the friendly giant in the middle east. I say that if they think this will stop violence against americans in Iraq they are sorely mistaken. The united states government has a blood-drenched foreign policy that has seen 1.5 million Iraqi children killed by direct economics caused by US sanctions. The United States government formerly supported Saddam Husein and provided his army with weapons to kill Iranians. Then the US "secretly" provided weapons to the Iranian army. Democracy must be achieved by a people standing up to their government and demanding their rights. Setting Baghdad aflame does not take Iraq any closer to democracy. It just leads to more deep seated anger in the middle east against the United States. The Government is doing nothing but perpetuating hate that has long since existed in the east. Removing one evil dictator will not change the course of violent backlash the United States will continue to recieve because the prop up Dictators and support Genocides. The US army is a gang of thugs who's main job is to strike fear into the masses of the world. What makes me sad is that the american people are so convinced that they are on the side of "right", that many believe that weapons of mass destruction have been found in Iraq. They have not. This was an illegal war fought for fictional reasons. And tyhe people of the US should be ashamed of what their country has become. The land of the ignorant and the home of the fraudulant.
