        This week's food for thought, brought to you by People's
        Republic of Berkeley: Did you know that many US pilots defected to
        communist Cuba?  South Korea pilots defected to communist
        North Korea? Iran<->Iraq pilots defected to each other?
        W Germany pilots defected to E Germany? Taiwan/ROC pilots

11/6    By a 2:1 ratio Americans think that the Iraq war was not worth it:
        http://www.pollingreport.com/iraq.htm
        \_ Bad conservatives. You should never change your mind, and you
           should never admit mistakes.
           \_ Most "tea party" conservatives still support the war. It is the
              weak-kneed moderates that have turned against America.

2/16    "Iraqi: I'm proud my WMD lies led to war in Iraq"

        \_ Duh.  the best thing that could ever happen to a country is
           the US declaring war on it.  cf: japan, germany, and now iraq.
           the US winning a war with it.  cf: japan, germany, and now iraq.

11/2    California Uber Alles is such a great song
        \_ Yes, and it was written about Jerry Brown. I was thinking this
           as I cast my vote for Meg Whitman. I am independent, but I
           typically vote Democrat (e.g., I voted for Boxer). However, I
           can't believe we elected this retread.
           \_ You voted for the billionaire that ran HP into the ground

        \_ War is fought for the glory of generals and the economics of the
           war machine.  Looking for "justifications" for it is like looking
           for sense in the necronomicon.  Just accept it and move on.

2/20    Ok serious question, NOT political.  This is straight up procedural.
        Has it been declared that we didn't find WMD in iraq? (think so).
        So why did we go into iraq (what was the gain), and if nobody really
        knows, why is nobody looking for the reason?
        \_ Political stability, military strategy (Iran), and to prevent
           Saddam from financing terrorism.

Printable version US 'concealing' Saddam's secrets Saddam Hussein in an Iraqi court Saddam Hussein was captured in December 2003 Iraq's justice minister has accused the US of concealing information abou t deposed president Saddam Hussein that could be damaging to "many count ries". Abdel Hussein Shandal said it seemed there were "lots of secrets" that th e Americans wanted to hide. Saddam Hussein is set to go on trial in Iraq over alleged crimes against humanity, but no date has been set. Mr Shandal spoke to the AP news agency on the eve of a major conference. "There should be transparency and there should be frankness, but there ar e secrets that, if revealed, won't be in the interest of many countries, " Mr Shandal said. US concerns Saddam Hussein is officially in Iraqi custody but is being guarded by US troops at a secret location. The minister expressed his confidence that the investigation into Saddam Hussein would be finished by the end of the year and that this would be followed by a speedy trial. But an official from the Iraqi tribunal set up to try the former presiden t told AP that no date had been set. "The interrogation of Saddam is taking place regularly and almost daily a nd neither the justice minister, not the Americans, have anything to do with it because the tribunal is an independent court," the official said . US officials are said to have privately warned against rushing into a tri al until Iraq has a satisfactory judicial system - one of the main topic s to be discussed at the Brussels conference. The US is also believed to be worried about holding a trial before a new constitution is written and while there is still so much violence. The international conference on Iraq's future is to take place over two d ays and will be co-hosted by the European Union and Washington. UN Secretary General Kofi Annan and US Secretary of State Condoleezza Ric e will be joined some 80 foreign ministers and officials. Iraq will appeal to donor countries to fulfil their financial pledges and to pursue the question of debt relief. They are also hoping for extra support to train and equip Iraqi security forces, as well as help with judicial and penal reforms.
