Baghdad Sean Is At It Again 02/28/03

There is a very radical far left, little known satellite network which I
will not even name, one of those condescending, pseudo high brow
supposedly intellectual outfits who just loves to criticize America.

I was surfing the other day and saw the face of none other than Baghdad
Sean Penn, the traitorous little Hollywood hotshot who went to Iraq to
try to make America look bad.

He was pointing out that the Iraqi people were in terrible shape, they
were being deprived of the essentials of life, food and medicine and
such and that the American embargo was the cause of all their ills.

I got so mad I had to change channels. Here is this American citizen,
who has reaped rewards far beyond those of 99.9% of the people in this
nation, standing there blaming the woes of the Iraqi people on the
United States of America.

This is idiocy. Our embargoes have caused this situation. Mr. Penn,
did Saddam Hussein have nothing to do with it?

Do you not think that this unspeakable monster and his family live in
mansions and indulge their every whim while his people live in abject
misery?

Are you naive enough not to know that you were shown exactly what Saddam
wanted you to see? Did he show you any of the torture chambers where he
tortures little children to obtain confessions from their parents. Did
he show you the underground tunnels where he stores his chemical and
biological weapons? Did he show you any of the women who have been
raped and horribly abused by his maniac son?
Don’t you know that even if we lifted the embargo that the major part of
the aid would never get to the people, that it would be taken away by
Saddam and his henchmen?

What is it about Hollywood that so blinds you people to the evil in the
world, why do you insist that the United States is such a terrible
nation?

The people of Iraq will only get the things they need when Saddam is six
feet under the sand. He is the problem, he is the cause of the misery
the Iraqi people are going through.

I did not even hear the words Saddam Hussein come out of your mouth, how
can you be so blind? The Iraqi people’s problems didn’t start with the
American embargo or even the first Gulf War. They started when Saddam
came to power.

Iraq could be a rich and prosperous country if their leader didn’t spend
all their resources on military hardware and armies.

What about the billions of dollars he gets from France and Germany and
the other countries he has oil deals with? Do you see him spending any
of that money on food and medicine for his starving citizens?

How dare you blame Iraq’s problems on the U.S.A. and have the nerve to
come back to this country. You should have stayed and used some of the
millions of dollars you’ve made in this evil nation to help the Iraqi
citizens.

One thing about it Mr. Penn, you will be remembered for a whole lot more
than your acting. There will be hundreds of thousands of men and women
who proudly wear the uniform of the United States of America who will
remember you for a long time. They will remember that you went to an
enemy country and gave aid and comfort to not only an enemy, but also
one of the most evil people on the face of the earth.

They will remember your words, criticizing the country they love enough
to die for.

I wouldn’t be going to any Veterans of Foreign War meetings if I were
you, Mr. Penn.

By the way do you remember Jane Fonda?

What do you think?
