Get Saddam

I watched 60 Minutes tonight, which I generally avoid. It seemed to be an entire program of blog fodder--a story on doctors asking their patients if they have any guns in their homes (guns as a public health problem); a report on Hugo Chavez, who looks like he deserved to be overthrown, if only the rebels hadn't beein footls; and, most disturbing, a report on present conditions in "HALABJA 14 YEARS LATER -- Iraq may be the next battlefield in the war on terrorism because of chemical weapons Saddam has � gas he used in 1988 on the people in the Kurdish town of Halabja. Ed Bradley reports on the genetic effects of that attack."

After watching the last, I feel ashamed for what the U.S. did for these people (nothing) and anger that the world is bickering over the Palestinians when these people have suffered worse than genocide. Their gene pool has been corrupted, and the British doctor who has documented the atrocities done to them and tried to help them now has a price on her head from the Iraqi regime. We cannot not overthrow these grues too soon. The lucky ones in Halabja were the dead. This report should be shown to all of our troops before we attack, and this should be our war cry, "Remember Halabja!" And when Saddam release the videos of Iraqi civilians killed by our bombs, we should show this to the world. Let them see the deformed children, the miscarriages, the survivors with horrible nerve damage and weird mutagenic diseases.

We don't need to wait for him to get nukes. The nerve gas is all the excuse we need.
