The Big Black Book of Saddam’s Horrors
For our friends on the left who believe Iraq was better off with Sadaam in power…

“Le Livre Noir de Saddam Hussein (The Black Book of Saddam Hussein) is a robust denunciation of Saddam’s regime that does not fall into the trap of viewing everything in Iraq through a US-centric prism. The writers – Arabs, Americans, Germans, French and Iranian – have produced the most comprehensive work to date on the former Iraqi president’s war crimes, assembling a mass of evidence that makes the anti-intervention arguments redundant.
“The first weapon of mass destruction was Saddam Hussein,” writes Bernard Kouchner, who has been observing atrocities in Iraq since he led the first Medecins Sans Frontieres mission there in 1974. “Preserving the memory of the arbitrary arrests that Saddam’s police conducted every morning, the horrible and humiliating torture, the organised rapes, the arbitrary executions and the prisons full of innocent people is not just a duty. Without that one cannot understand either what Saddam’s dictatorship was or the urgent necessity to remove him.”

GOP students confront
Ward Churchill
You gotta love my home town. We have some of the best college republicans in America!
Quote:
“Protesters confronted controversial professor Ward Churchill at the University of Colorado yesterday, asking him to circle the names of 9-11 victims who deserved to die on a 12-foot banner memorializing them.
Churchill has said that not all of the victims of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks were innocent, so the protesters, organized by the school’s College Republicans club, decided to challenge him to identify who those people were.”

Are you a sitting duck for bird flu?
“A cadre of prepared Americans believe it’s important to be ready for a flu pandemic at least as deadly as the 1918 pandemic that killed roughly 50 million people worldwide, including 500,000 in the USA.
These people are talking to neighbors and relatives, making contingency plans and discussing their concerns online at websites such as fluwikie.com.”

What continues to concern me is that no one is talking about the need for childbirth self sufficiency. This reality is going to hit the US rather hard. In 1918 most babies in America were still being born at home. The migration to the hospital did not begin in earnest until the thirties and forties. Healthy women are NOT going to want to give birth in the same place as a bunch of sickly people.
Emergency Childbirth and Natural Childbirth are the answer.
