The only "bullying" America has done has been to liberate 50 million people.

We overthrew true "bullies," the Taliban in Afghanistan.  There, 
children, including girls are now able to go to a real school and obtain 
that most precious gift, an education.  Free elections are coming soon, 
in spite of the world's unwillingness to help.

We overthrew true "bullies," Saddam Hussein and his two psychopathic 
sons, Uday and Qusay, in Iraq and liberated another 25 million people.  
Iraqi athletes will soon participate in the Olympics without fear of 
being tortured.  Iraqi children will no longer be stung by bees in front 
of their parents.  The marshes in the southern river deltas are being 
re-flooded after Saddam drained them to spite the "Marsh Arabs" causing 
undescribable ecological disasters there.  I could go on and on about 
the atrocities that will no longer occur in Iraq thanks to US liberation 
of their country.

Did we steal their oil as was alleged by the European media?  No, we did 
not.  We are trying to help them rebuild their oil industry for their 
own good.

If you want the true picture of what was happening in Iraq before 
America liberated them, please obtain the video "Saddam's Mass Graves" 
produced by Janio Rosebiani, an Iraqi who honestly portrays the horrors 
of existence under Saddam and his regime.

I am sick and tired of people like you, Gene, who blame America when we 
have done good things for millions of hurting people.  Your politics is 
just full of BS.

If by "world opinion" you are speaking of people like the French and 
Germans, as well as the United Nations, let me remind you to investigate 
the ongoing and exer expanding "Oil For Food" scandal, whereby the 
French, Germans, Russians and high-level UN officials were TAKING BRIBES 
from Saddam, keeping him in power to rape, torture and kill millions 
while they sucked off money that was intended for starving and suffering 
Iraqi children.

Thanks to America's actions, this program is no longer in operation.  No 
wonder the French, and their accomplices hate America.  We stopped them 
from ripping off poor Iraqi citizens.  Instead of America's "Blood for 
Oil,"  it was the French, Germans, UN officials and Russians who were 
selling Iraqi children's blood for their oil bribes. 

So don't ever badmouth America in front of me.  Because I have told the 
truth, not propaganda.  And the truth is...

We did the right thing.
