I'd like to know how it is that a "Christian" government (ok, let's all suspend the argument that the US is or is not a nation under the WASP God-we all know which God we mean, right?) - how can that government in effect ask US citizens to glory in the death's of two murdered sons of a dictator? Another opportunity for the gleefull newsanchors to smile again. Just like the CNN crew did all through the first bombing week of the "official" part of the War.

If our US administration points out some folks as wearing black hats, then us American posses are to be rounded up with our white hats and go murder them, right? And all of us Americans that can't participate in the bounty hunt and murder are supposed to rejoice and our US media tells us that all is going well for these murders and hey! This even means that the US economy is supposed to have a positive effect from these murders too! See the comments from The Hamster blog: Two Sons Dead? Buy! about this! Read the whole post - a good one!

"Two Sons Dead? Buy!

Treasury Secretary John "I Don't Know Who I Am Either" Snow said the death of Saddam's sons will help the economy. Snow was asked by a Fox Television reporter for his reaction to Wall Street's bounce after news of the deaths emerged.

"Well, I think anything that removes uncertainty about the course of progress in Iraq (news - web sites) is positive, and that certainly removes some uncertainty," the US economic chief said."

Now after this angle, consider that the Right to Life movement somehow has no reciprocal value to human life once the "babies" grow up to be cowboys, albeit bad cowboys. So in the US we see good Christians, Right to lifers, the Christian Right, politicians and administration staff cheering the murders. Doesn't anyone see the grossness of all this? How can anyone be glad someone else is dead? Oh yes, the only good Commie is one that's dead, or something like that.... We must be our father's children.

Sorry to be cynical, but that's as I see it today.
