I am not condoning what happened to the Iraqi prisoners...however, I

think it is vitally important that in my head I have these matters in proper

perspective...

* Saddam had Iraqi men, women and children put to death in human meat

grinders on a daily basis...NO OUTCRY FROM THE IRAQI PEOPLE OR THE ARAB

COMMUNITY...

*Saddam had people thrown off of 3 - 4 story buildings, while their

relatives were forced to watch...NO OUTCRY FROM THE IRAQI PEOPLE OR THE ARAB

COMMUNITY...

* Saddam had people's tongues cut out, limbs chopped of, and even

beheaded, while their families were forced to watch...NO OUTCRY FROM THE

IRAQI PEOPLE OR THE ARAB COMMUNITY...

* Saddam's sons, as well as other Administrators and military

personnel raped and sodomized Iraqi girls, some as young as 8 years old, on

a daily basis...NO OUTCRY FROM THE IRAQI PEOPLE OR THE ARAB COMMUNITY...

* Saddam's regime indiscriminately put to death millions of Iraqi

citizens on a daily basis, during the term of his brutal dictatorship, as

evidenced by the mass graves recently uncovered in various parts of

Iraq...NO OUTCRY FROM THE IRAQI PEOPLE OR THE ARAB COMMUNITY...

* Terrorists recently exploded several car bombs in Baghdad, killing 17

innocent Iraqi children and several dozen innocent Iraqi citizens...NO

OUTCRY FROM THE IRAQI PEOPLE OR THE ARAB COMMUNITY...

* Terrorists have been killing American/Coalition soldiers on a daily

basis since we sent our troops, many of whom gave their lives on Iraqi

soil, used US taxpayer dollars to liberate the Iraqi people...NO OUTCRY FROM

THE IRAQI PEOPLE OR THE ARAB COMMUNITY...

* Four Americans were killed in Fallujah, their bodies were burned,

mutilated, dragged through the streets and hung on a bridge...while Iraqi

people cheered and stoned the bodies...NO OUTCRY FROM THE IRAQI PEOPLE OR

THE ARAB COMMUNITY...

AND NOW, A FEW IRAQI PRISONERS HAVE BEEN HUMILIATED (poor babies)...A PAIR

OF WOMENS UNDERWEAR PUT ON THE PRISONERS' HEADS, A FEW NAKED

PHOTOGRAPHS...AND THE IRAQI PEOPLE AND THE ENTIRE ARAB COMMUNITY GO

BALLISTIC...GIVE ME A BREAK!!!

As I said, I don't condone what happened to the prisoners...but until

the Iraqis and the Arab Community get their act together I wish the

American news elite would stop being part of the problem and stop using this

story to the benefit of the Arab community.
