Headlines and comments

Bad News: when Bush 41 didn't proceded to Baghdad, Hussein not only went after the Kurds, but killed 100,00 Shiites in the south. The mass graves are now being excavated, and bodies identified. Yet there has been few stories demonizing the monster who ordered this.
Similarly, today, Iraq the model in the WSJ notes that some mourn the death of a monster...
"...It is totally unimaginable why someone would describe the head chopping, children murdering terrorist as a hero. It's disgusting and infuriating beyond words.
This wrongful description of evil is a major reason for misery in this region and it only contributes to justifying more unjustifiable death and violence...."

Good news: Bush in Baghdad..Pajama Media has blog links. FREEPERS are ecstatic, and later posts have photos... like this one posted by LaEnchiladita--->

Bad News: BBC pushing new "atrocity": they have a story about a video suspected to be made "by US Marines" where a man in fatigues and a "green" teeshirt sings about killing Iraqis iand posted it on line.
LGF has the video and points out the killing is done by insurgents who are using children as human shields... Hint to BBC:...it was a joke...

Good news: The big terrorism news here in the Philippines is that security was tight for independence day celebrations, so no more deaths (Only one more bomb explosion)....even Bryanboy was stopped by security checks in Manila. He has photos. (BB is among the most popular Pinoy blogs, but NOT work friendly).
Kudos to our hardworking Pinoy cops.

Bad News: Indonesia plans to release the imman who inspired the Bali Bombers...LINK2
NOT good news for the Philippines.

Good News: Now that Fitzmas is past, maybe the real story will be investigated:
Roger Simon asks: "...just why did Joseph C. Wilson go to Niger? It doesn't take a rocket scientist - or even a crime writer - to see something fishy in sending the hubby of a hemi-semi-demi-out CIA agent for a week to drink tea in Africa to find out whether someone had been selling yellowcake to Saddam..."
Ummm....I think it's called Nepotism, Roger...

Finally, the BBC is remembering Mao's cultural revolution...LINK2
I remember that at the time on college campuses this was spun as a good example of student activism, that sending people back to the land was great, and that barefoot doctors were wonderful...
The people who were there think differently...
