Ärende: Saddam is DEAD!  Hanged j
=================================
Hello Ed,

>JH>At two minutes past 3 a.m. (GMT) today, Saddam Hussein's boast that h
>JH>would die a heroic martyr ended when he saw the gallows.

>GB>Good!

>LL>There is nothing good about an individual being hanged.
>LL>Or shot.  Or gassed.  Or electrocuted.  Or given lethal
>LL>injection.  Or being murdered in any other way.

>LL>And it is even worse when the state murders someone in my name.
>LL>Imagine that.  State-sanctioned murder.  Kinda like state-sponsored
>LL>terrorism.

>LL>Was it worth it?  3,000+ dead U.S. soldiers.  That is what it took
>LL>to bring Saddam to "justice".

>LL>Happy New Year, Gary.  I'm sure the families of those 3,000 dead
>LL>American soldiers will be enjoying a very special New Year.  Even
>LL>as their loved ones remain six feet under.

>EH>You have no standing to speak for the families of those who have
>EH>given their life in service of this country.

>LL>I have played "Taps" for dead soldiers.  That is far more than could
>LL>be said of you.

EH>HAhahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!

EH>What an idiot! You think your playing taps for someone gives you some
EH>special authority?

Absolutely.

EH>You have no idea what I have done. I don't give idiots like you my personal
EH>information. You can stay ignorant about what I have experienced. What you
EH>think of me means nothing.

It would be loads of fun to watch you try to play a bugle.

>EH>You are the lowest of the low. Your lamentations regarding Saddam's
>EH>demise s more about you than you could ever imagine. And none of it
>EH>is good.

>LL>Every Memorial Day I raise an American flag in my yard and play "Taps"
>LL>for all to hear.  What have you done for your country lately?  Nothing?
>LL>That's what I thought.  Now go back to sleep.

EH>Raising a flag and playing taps isn't "doing something for your country."

Yes, it is.  In fact, President Clinton had asked every American to do
so some years ago.  As such, being a patriotic American, I have done my
duty.  Every year.

EH>You are ignorant about me and I'm going to keep it like that.

Only the ignorant would refuse to play "Taps" on Memorial Day.

EH>I couldn't care less what you think.

Then listen to the music.  It might haunt you.  In fact, it should.
But only if you are truly a patriotic American.
