Thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak my
mind. I lost my job this past year. When Clinton was
president I was secure and prosperous, but in the last
year, we had to close our operations. We simply could
not compete with foreign labor. This foreign labor
worked for low pay under very bad conditions.

They worked very long shifts, and many even died on
the job.

This competition could hardly be called "fair." I was
forced out of the place where I had worked for 34
years.

Not a single government program was there to help me.

How can Bush call himself "compassionate?" Far worse,
I lost two of my sons in Bush's evil war in Iraq. They
gave their lives for their country, and for what? So
that Bush's oil buddies can get rich. My pain of
losing my sons is indescribable.

While it is trivial next to the loss of my sons, I
regret to say that I also lost my home. I simply have
nothing left. How can Bush call himself a Christian
when he neglects people like me? I am a senior citizen
with various medical problems. I'm not in a position
where I can begin a new career. I was reduced to the
point where I had to live in a hole in a ground, all
because of President Bush.

And when the authorities found me there, did they have
any compassion for my misfortune and ailments? No, I
was arrested. Mr. Bush, I dare you to look me in the
face and tell me you are a compassionate man! I dare
you to look me in the face and tell me you are a
Christian. If I had any money left, I would donate it
to the Democrat Party.

If Al Gore had been elected in 2000 I would still have
a job, a home, and most importantly, my dear sons!

Saddam Hussein
