We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.

Samizdata, derived from Samizdat /n. - a system of clandestine publication of banned literature in the USSR [Russ.,= self-publishing house]

Everybody has to make a living, somehow

Go and see just how idiotic a protest by an American pacificist group, Voices in the Wilderness, looks even to the Iraqis. A group of 12 activists lead by Kathy Kelly gathered on Saturday to bring the American style of protest to Saddam Hussein’s Iraq. And of course, they are protesting against President Bush and his threats of war against Iraq. What a shrewd choice of venue! Salam reports from Baghdad:

Nothing in the news about it, and no one at work making any “look at those poor deluded souls going at it again” comments (which is one of two responses to this sort of thing, the other being “I wonder how much money are they getting as a ‘thank you’ gift from saddam”).”

And this is how he feels about it:

Dear american friends, please stop sending her over here, she is not helping. Some people might think that this sort of thing I like to see happening. It is NOT. Kelly baby you have been used. They have put you on show for the westerners.”

I think he is too kind to those brain-disconnected idiots, trying to understand that everyone has to make a living…somehow.

    typical oh yes. as KGB called western peace protestors ‘useful idiots’, which once was misguided myself before waking up to real world. these american fools are saddam’s useful idiots, so warm in their feelings of goodness about themselfs to be blind to fact they are not supporting poor iraqi people but instead support national socialist dictator who makes them live in fear. such people not worth even to spit on.
