The US/CIA put Saddam in power over 45 years ago and the charade has continued to the present.
There probably is a real war on terror other than what everyone already knows and reads about in the mainstream news but
its one chess game played behind the scenes that we will never hear about (Israeli strike on undisclosed Syrian military
target & other things past and present like who Al Caida really is made up of, who makes them work and carries out their
worst horrors and who finances them). You may know of Naomi Klein. Here is her website: http://www.naomiklein.org/. Read
about her new book The Shock Doctrine, the Rise of Disaster Capitalism. The short movie available in the intro to her
website will wake you up & contains some horrific pages from the CIA interrogation manual (may give you nightmares so
avoid this if you don't want to risk ruining your day).
She has some really good ideas for fixing some of the problems we have with this country.
I tip my hat to those Burmese monks as they are collectively and individually saviors of mankind.
(I can just hear it now from the Fundy Wonderland about how anyone other than Their Man could perform in that capacity).
