April 11, 2003 Oh Freedom by STEW ALBERT Iraqi looters could not tear down Saddam's statue. So many years of subservience had degraded their biceps. American technology did the task and the Iraqis were liberated and stealing sofas and CD's. Tom Jefferson's dream on sale in the market of thieves. Saddam's gunmen are going home but their shadow remains. Will they resist the Bechtel-Christian occupation or cut deals with the oily empire? The purest still fighting on and dying, corruption's remains will be sold to the highest bidder. The Republican Party placing bids on the Republican Guard. Thirsty Count Rumsfield is looking at the necks of Iran and Syria. More Dubya war means reelection. War, oil, disease and death, good growing weather for the House of Bush.
