Propaganda Campaign In Full Swing Over Hussein Execution [View All]

It seems that even the Iraqi Media is getting their dose of Washington-ordered propaganda film. The TV feed at the above link is looping footage of torture and other attrocities that occurred during Saddam Hussein's rule.

Now, I'm not saying that Hussein was a good guy by any stretch of the imagination. But I can't imagine the Iraqi people feeling any better off today than they did under Hussein. Most people in that country must be terrified about what will happen when the execution inevitably comes. While the United States tries to feel good about itself at this "milestone", those scenes of torture, violence and death are being relived by the Iraqi people. One has to ask themselves, is this Iraqi media network free to report all of the news that is happening in Iraq, even the things that our policies have spawned?

This is just a sickening and disgusting day for me. While I hear co-workers and others laugh about the execution and make comments like "let em' hang!" I can't help but just hang my head in shame over what we as a country have become under the Bush regime. If there is a God, may he/she have mercy on all of our souls.
