					<description>You'd first believe that some people over in Iraq must be making the unionizing story up before you'd believe the administration has an agenda that has little to do with human rights?  The Bush administration has FAR more to gain by trampling unionizing efforts than the people reporting that story have to gain by making it up.  Do you get my point?

Yes, there's always an opposite story...however I wouldn't say it's always equal. There's a simple rule I use to sort all the news out...follow the money trail. Whose angle is benefiting in the last humane way?  If there's money to be made, corruption is easily justified.  The "sides" I go with are the ones whose motives are not material and selfish, but affiliated instead with survival and dignity and equality. You start to see patterns to the power structures in our world and then it becomes easier to sort things out.

And yes, I very strongly believe the administration would purposely trample on human rights...it is naive to give the administration the benefit of the doubt as far as things like this. There's so much evidence (from sources with nothing material to gain) that power and money are way more important to the agenda than human rights.

					<description>Do you really think that the Bush Administration is purposely trampling human rights and all civil decency for financial gain?

I would hope that is not the case.

It's very hard for me to believe anything I read anymore, whether it be in a newsletter, blog, paper or seen on television. It's seems every story I hear/read there is an equal and opposite story. I have seriously given up sorting it all out.</description>

					<description>Iraq was invaded so Bush II could create his own corporate playground and install new military bases.  We will be seeing  made in Iraq stickers on the crap in Wal-mart in about 10 years.</description>
