Iraq hanged two aides to Saddam Hussein, Barzan al-Tikriti and Awad al-Bander, before dawn today, but government efforts to avoid a repeat of uproar over the ousted leader's rowdy execution, were thwarted, when his half-brother's head was severed by the hangman's noose.
U.S. troops, in a possible violation of the Philippines' constitution, have taken part in combat operations against guerrillas linked to Al Qaeda, an activist group said in a report today.
Louise Brown, who was the world's first "test-tube" baby, has given birth to her first child. Congratulations Louise. I love this happy ending, or is it a beginning?
Those were the headlines for today. Barzan al-Tikriti and Awad al-Bander were hanged early today. Saddam's half brother was in fact executed twice, the hanged him, and to make sure that he was dead, the hangman made a "mistake", letting the hangman's noose ripp off his head. How horrible can it get? This time around there are no pictures or videos to show, as the Iraqi government decided that that might not be a good publicity stunt for them. What amazed me here was the fact that the Americans said, and keep saying, that the hanging of Saddam Hussein and the two man mentioned above, was an Iraqi affair, and that they had nothing to do with it. Yes, the Americans did not personally execute them. That is true. But, then again, Saddam did not personally execute all the victims of his regime, but he was still held accountable for what was done. These horrible executions, which serve no purpose, other then to make martyrs out of Saddam and his man, were approved by the Americans. Saddam Hussein, Barzan al-Tikriti and Awad al-Bander were delivered by the Americans on a silver platter to their Iraqi executioners. And as such I think president Bush is as much responsible for their executions as Saddam was for the executions of his victims. He could have tried to stop all this madness, but he didn't give it any thought.
And finally: times flies. It's already 28 years since the first test tube baby was born. And now that baby is a no longer a baby, but a normal woman. Louise Brown gave birth to her first baby, and she didn't need all those specialized help from doctors, her parents needed. Just one heck of a good husband did the job for her. But there is something to think about here: without that test tube which provided life for Louise, her child would not have existed as well. A lot of people are against abortion, because it kills life, given by God. Interfering in the opposite way, like what happened with Louise resulted in new born babies who were not supposed to be born, as they were enginered by doctors, and are not a gift from God. Why is no one protesting against this I wonder?
But as usual, I really, really don't care whatever you do, for whatever reason, as long as you don't forget to love a soldier. Love, Jenifer Bloom. bloomjenifer@yahoo.co.uk
