Surly, Dick Cheney could have stepped forward and hugged Janet Norwood on behalf
of the Halliburton shareholders?
It is intersting that Bush is planning public sector cuts whilst, against the
advice of his own auditors,
not
withholding any payments requested by Halliburton for a contract providing
services to US servicemen in Iraq. Halliburton said it was “great news”...

The Iraqi woman, Safia Taleb al-Suhail, lost a son under Saddam Hussein’s
“regime,” while the American woman, Janet Norwood, lost her son during
military action in Iraq. A poignant moment, to be sure; but wouldn’t it have
been more appropriate for either woman to embrace the mother of one of the
hundred-thousand Iraqis killed during Bush’s regime? Or was the intent
to show that the deaths resulting from a brutal dictator’s policies find
resonance in the deaths that resulted from Saddam Hussein’s actions?
