" Even though the Democrats will likely win many seats in congress, the reality is that the Republicans have so soured the news media that it's almost impossible for voters to make informed decisions. (Your shredder misinformation is a good example of how misinformation poisons debate.) Thus the direction of the country, over decades, can't help but go downwards." Do you really think the average red stater really wants to be informed and make informed decisions?
Get a friggin' clue. U.N. Resolution 687 of 4/91 32. Requires Iraq to inform the Security Council that it will not commit or support any act of international terrorism or allow any organization directed towards commission of such acts to operate within its territory and to condemn unequivocally and renounce all acts, methods and practices of terrorism; The reality in 2003: (CBS) Saddam Hussein has distributed $260,000 to 26 families of Palestinians killed in 29 months of fighting with Israel, including a $10,000 check to the family of a Hamas suicide bomber. In a packed banquet hall on Wednesday, the families came one-by-one to receive their $10,000 checks. A large banner said: "The Arab Baath Party Welcomes the Families of the Martyrs for the Distribution of Blessings of Saddam Hussein." Iraq gives $10,000 to the families of those killed within 30 days of death. In total, Saddam has given more than $35 million to West Bank and Gaza Strip families of Palestinians killed during the fighting, said Ibrahim Zanen, spokesman for the Arab Liberation Front in Gaza. Initially, families of suicide bombers received $25,000 from Saddam, but now everyone receives an equal $10,000. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/03/14/world/main543981.shtml
