Subject: RE: BS: Saddam Has Got To Go
Thank you Michael...well said as did Danny Glover. I always loved John Prine's observation that so many "Christians" just don't get...."Jesus don't like killing, no matter what the reason for..." but then again hypocrisy (and Daddy's money) can get you elected President and thats the American way I reckon. Here's an interesting article about just that sort of thing:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
"In October 2000, Yugoslav dictator Slobodan Milosevic was removed from power ? not by force of arms, as many had predicted, but by a dedicated, nonviolent strategy of honest elections and massive civil disobedience. Milosevic was strengthened by patriotic fervor when NATO bombed Yugoslavia in early 1999, but a few months later, a student movement named Otpor ("resistance" in Serbian) launched a surprising offensive."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Of course those Americans who practiced civil disobedience by marching in New York got arrested.....and then there is the "Patriot Act II" being covered up by Ashcroft and cronies...sounds like echoes of Hitler to me
