   What’s most interesting about the spectacle is watching the media do what they do best, nothing. Not a peep of anything having to do with U.S. support of Saddam, before, during, and after most all of his worst crimes. Not a peep about how up until the day before Kuwait Bush I gave him another billion. Not a peep about how the U.S. helping him gas the Iranians. Not a peep about how, with the help of the C.I.A., he was put into power in the first place. Not a peep about the illegality of the war in the first place. Not a peep about much of anything other than he’s dead. Yea! Whoopee! We helped kill a killer who we supported! Yea for us! There’s little doubt that this was nothing more than a political action and probably had little to do with law at all. For if it did, and we’ve decided to actually start applying the laws, for once, there are a few others who will no doubt be in trouble pretty soon. This is pretty much a case of “Look how great it is the monster’s gone!” “Look what WE did!” “We got him!” “Everything can be better now!” (Camera 1: Pan to the 100 or so cheering Iraqis screaming “He’s dead! He’s dead!”) (Camera 2: Cut to one of the “legal experts” to keep everyone busy so that we don’t have to talk about all of those things kb mentioned above) (CUT to commercial selling Hanging Saddam dolls at The American Enterprise Institute. Zoom in on Kissinger punching the gallow door drop over and over) Get ready for the “in-depth” interview with three pundits who go into great detail about where the gallow was constructed, whether or not Saddam was wearing Old Spice when he refused the hood, and if his last meal was some of the spam they found in his hole in the ground. (After that just push the replay tape loop button and go on home for the week.) You’ve all done a really good job at showing what really happens in the world. Yes, we ARE the “liberal media” and do such a great job of really shedding light on how the real world works.kb
