    Saddam found guilty

    Surprisingly they were not able to "find" enough evidence to convict him of the real crime we all heard so much about "He gassed his own people". So, the question remains. Who really is responsible for the deaths of all those civilians in Halabja in March 1988? Perhaps it is time to reopen...

    Uncle Sam has nothing to gain by ending the Korean War, which is technically still being fought. Its been a great excuse to occupy Japan and South Korea and sell lots of weapons. Why end it now?
