Point/Counter-point: WMDs
There are no WMDs in Iraq
Christopher Mead, Peace-activist
President Bush is a disgrace. He stole the election by using lawyers to stop the voting. He let down the nation by failing to do anything to try and stop the September 11th hijackers. And when the democrats in congress rallied behind their president, hoping that he might do something to stop the terrorists, he did a 180 and went after Iraq, a country that had nothing to do with terrorism or 9/11.
His reason? He claimed that peace-loving Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein was developing weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) in preparation for using them against the U.S. or Israel. But you know what? We now know that Iraq had no WMDs. They never did and never would. The whole cause for war was completely bogus, and Bush knew that. He just wanted to be a big man and follow in his daddy's footsteps by needlessly killing U.S. soldiers and Iraqi civilians.
Thank goodness the November elections are coming up soon. Now we can replace Bush with a real President who won't lie about things that don't exist.

<<Tests Confirm Sarin in Iraqi Artillery Shell
Tuesday, May 18, 2004
By Liza Porteus
NEW YORK — Tests on an artillery shell that blew up in Iraq on Saturday confirm that it did contain an estimated three or four liters of the deadly nerve agent sarin, Defense Department officials told Fox News Tuesday.
The artillery shell was being used as an improvised roadside bomb, the U.S. military said Monday. The 155-mm shell exploded before it could be rendered inoperable, and two U.S. soldiers were treated for minor exposure to the nerve agent.
Three liters is about three-quarters of a gallon; four liters is a little more than a gallon.
"A little drop on your skin will kill you" in the binary form, said Ret. Air Force Col. Randall Larsen, founder of Homeland Security Associates. "So for those in immediate proximity, three liters is a lot," but he added that from a military standpoint, a barrage of shells with that much sarin in them would more likely be used as a weapon than one single shell.>>

Iraqi Dictator Cleared of Any Wrongdoing
Confusion over Saddam's name lead to belief he was involved in Terrorism
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Following a campaign spearheaded by Teresa Heinz Kerry, wife of Democrat Presidential hopeful John Kerry, Saddam Hussein, dictator of Iraq, has been cleared of any allegations of connections to terrorism.
"I always knew that Saddam had nothing to do with terrorism, nothing!" Heinz Kerry said. "And now, thanks to this investigation, all the confusion has been cleared up. You see, Saddam Hussein, dictator of Iraq, wasn't the one giving $25,000 to families of Palestinian suicide bombers. As it turns out, it was a Mr. Saddam Hussein of Palestine, Texas that was giving them the money." According to Heinz Kerry, some phone books list them right next to each other, "so if your eyes accidentally jump a line when looking from the name to the address, it could be really easy to confuse the two."
Heinz Kerry used her vast wealth to fund a search to look into who was funding the Palestinian suicide bombers. She says she knew from the beginning it wasn't the dictator of Iraq. She just needed to prove that to the rest of the world. After months of searching, the well-funded team of researchers discovered that the money going to the suicide bombers was actually coming from within the United States. A few weeks later, and the donor had been discovered to be Saddam Hussein of Palestine, TX.
Shortly after news of the findings broke, Saddam Hussein was released from prison in an undiscolsed location in Iraq, as there was no longer anything to hold against him. When asked what he would do next, the former dictator said "I here France is looking for a non-terrorist dictator, so I'm going to check them out and see if I can grab power in a bloody coup there."

Prisoners of War Not Treated Well
First-ever known case of such abuse in the history of man
In the news today is a report so shocking, so disturbing, that the truth is almost too painful to tell. I speak of a scandal that shakes the very foundations of our republic. Those of you with weak constitutions are advised to read no further.
It seems, if the reports can be believed, that a number of American soldiers have committed terrible atrocities against the prisoners they have been ordered to guard. These offenses include (brace yourself) forcing these prisoners to remove their clothes and be photographed in obscene poses. Apparently, they were further humiliated beyond even these actions in ways I surely cannot describe in this space. Gentlemen (and any ladies still with us), I have no words suitable to describe the awful indignity that these prisoners were made to endure for almost two whole weeks.
These unspeakable acts are unparalleled in the history of mankind in their brutality and scope. They are a black mark on the spotless humanitarian record of Western Civilization, and especially the United the States of America. There have been rumors, of course, of mistreatment from other governments, notably Germany circa 1940 and most recently Iraq itself, but surely the leadership of those countries would never have stooped to this level of barbarism.
Surely mankind will learn from this tragedy and work together to ensure that these sort of abominable practices will never occur again.
