A naive fool to be a human shield

I was a naive fool to be a human shield for Saddam: A nice
inside view on the feelings of the Iraqi people.

Of course I had read reports that Iraqis hated Saddam
Hussein, but this was the real thing. Someone had explained it to
me face to face. I told a few journalists who I knew. They said
that this sort of thing often happened - spontaneous, emotional,
and secretive outbursts imploring visitors to free them from
Saddam’s tyrannical Iraq.



Robin Cook’s Resignation Speech

resignation speech
Cook’s resignation speech, plainly excelent:

We cannot base our military strategy on the assumption
that Saddam is weak and at the same time justify pre-emptive action
on the claim that he is a threat.

This sentence says it all. The US won’t ever attack North Korea
because they know they have weapons of mass destruction and they
are affraid that they will use them.

They will attack Iraq because they know they don’t
have them and because they have the oil.
