A truely sad day for all Dutch
Today movie maker, columnist and chain-smoker Theo van Gogh was murdered He was known and feared for his strong critizism and his blunt and harsh statements that he spewed when ever he got the chance. Often shocking his "opponenents" Van Gogh had a very stong opinion about the way muslims-funtamentalists suppress women and how they condem gays. In an ultimate attempt to shut him up, he was brutally excecuted in Amsterdam this morning. He was shot 6 times and then a letter was pinned to his dead body with 2 knives The killer was captured after a shoot-out with the police. He is an immigrant from Marocco and aparently a muslim-extremist. Van Gogh paid the ultimate price for what he believed in the most: the freedom of speech |

The US has made it a policy to support dictators or install them.
1940's- the Saudis' 1955- What was it Guatemala and the CIA installing a dictator after ousting the elected President because of the Dole banana Co. 1955- Vietnam-Bao Dai deposed and Diem installed because he was pro US 1950's- Iran and the US backing of the Shah. hell, the list goes on and on so for ya all to proclaim the US actions in the world to be in the support of free societies and democratic ideals, bs. The media has brainwashed the masses with government spin. If you say a lie long enough, people believe its true. We are real good at making sure others are free as long as they agree with us or supply us with oil. France and Germany were pissed that Bush went ahead to war without going thru with the UN process. They are still pissed because of the reconstruction contracts going mostly to US corps. Do I like Sadamm, no. Do I wish him the death penalty, not my call, I want him tried under Iraqi laws not Texas laws. Laws and customs are different worldwide so when it Rome do as the Romans do. Where is the proof that Sadamm nearly had a Abomb? I read and heard it was so far off it was a pipe dream. Or is this back to the yellow cake material document that was proved to be false. The US is a nice place to live but can't we make it better here first? Geoff (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) |
