Ann Curry's commentary on the Today Show

So true Ms. Curry. Although I tend to believe that the 'press' is allowed too much freedom of speech in certain cases, there are items that we all should know about to get a better understanding of what is going on. If Americans became upset at some of the cartoons published in our newspapers and started killing each other over it, our population would be extremely small. Sometimes other countries take the religion thing one step to far. Yes, there is a God and yes we all have our own beliefs but to kill each other over it is not what religion is about. Or is it. The MidEast has been killing each other over religion for thousands of years and probably will continue doing so no matter how much America interferes. Their problems have nothing to do with America and America does need to step back and let them work it out. Never can tell, they may do that one day.
What Sadaam did had nothing to do with religion no matter what any mideasterner may say. It was just down right murder because people did not do what he and his cronies liked or wanted. The battle between Isreal and Palestine is a religious confrontation. A wants B's land and believe B does not even belong. B wants what they believe God gave them; the land they have occupied for a thousand years. So they fight over it.
Sadaam needs to be irradicated. Unfortunately we have let this man remain alive because of the world's belief that he should stand trial. Think about it, did he provide the people he killed with a trial. I think not. We all know what he did and now the world is paying to keep him alive. hmmm Sounds just like what we do America, i.e. In America, a thousand people could watch someone kill someone else and then we will spend a fortune keeping that individual alive for what they did. We call it human rights. hmmm The world is now following suit on that. Unfortunately some of us have stronger beliefs about paybacks.

That's my story and I'm stickin to it.
