misleading the country and brainwashing the people with the press and the ‘patriotism police’
In a dictatorship? in the Arab World? we are used to that I guess - brainwashing and misleading. We have become acclimated to that, capable of differentiating between truths and lies even if we do very little about them.

saddam: single and lives in alabama
Well this is what ‘his’ MySpace entry says. Some funny guy posted an entry under Saddam Hussein’s name: “I AM SADDAM,HELLO EVERYONE” - Male - 71 years old - Alabama - United States - Single - Capricorn.
I just though it was funny. Not sure if the poster who posted it meant it as fun. I hope he meant it as a joke. The point is, while I am against the war in Iraq, Saddam was no ‘hero’. If those are Arab heroes, then pleeeeease… NO MORE heroes.
