Another "courageous" act of the Freedom Fighters

Here's a comment I got about my Kofi Annan entry a few days ago:

Kofi is obviously correct. It is quite courageous for him to speak the truth on this matter given that the US is a superpower. Now the question is whether we, as Americans, will have the courage to try George W Bush and his murderous neocon cabal for war crimes against humanity. Certainly, the spineless neocon congress will not do it. Too bad the UN is not powerful enough to take him into custody as they did with Milosevic or the Nazi leaders.

Note to neocons: Saddam had NOTHING to do with 9/11 and never supported terrorism against the US. Saddam was attacked most likely to place a military base in the middle east as detailed in the New American Century playbook. Our attack on Iraq was unprovoked aggression, which is what the UN was created to punish. I am glad the freedom fighters are fighting George over there so we do not have to fight them in Iran.

Despite the fact that not many would agree with the statement regardless of their political beliefs, I think I should respond to it. First off, it's not courageous of Annan to "speak the truth". The US has been the veritable punching bag of the world since the fall of the Soviet Union, and it's no secret that many politicians of other countries stand to gain politically by blasting the United States. And equating President Bush with Hitler or Milosevic is ridiculous.

We already knew that Saddam had nothing DIRECTLY to do with 9/11 even before the war. But neither did the Germans with the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. It's guilt by association when you're dealing with terrorism. The comment that Saddam never supported terrorism against the US is also false. He has ALWAYS supported terrorism against the US. The fact that he plotted to assassinate President Bush Sr. is one of a laundry list of examples. Unfortunately, most Americans' memories are too short to remember something that happened more than a couple years ago. Fortunately, there are those that do remember.

Oh, and I hope the anonymous commenter is glad that the "freedom fighters" have "courageously" slaughtered another innocent American civilian. I don't see anyone condemning these gruesome murders, so just in case you forget, the link to the video is above. And I shouldn't have to caution you that it's graphic. Why aren't more people upset with the actual perpetrators of this crime?
