Saddam’s 66th Birthday (Copied News)
【steve’s viewpoint】
1.The US has made Saddam Hussein saddened on this day.
2.In some aspect, Taiwan media look like Iraq’s, kind of TOO love their political leaders/stars!!
3.中國人說「六六大順」，顯然Hussein不會同意的～～
--------------------------------
(an excerpt)
“For many Iraqis, April 28 is as memorable a date as the 4th of July is to Americans.
The decorations used to go up a week in advance. Streets were festooned with even more of his portraits than usual. Balloons and colored lights were strung on stores and offices, and every Baath Party office laid out tables of cakes, pastries and soft drinks for party members and their families. Grandstands were erected in public parks, where singers and poets gathered to perform odes of love to the president that were written expressly for the occasion every year. Television was awash in excerpts from his speeches, and every school in the country sent a student delegation to dance for him.”---By Washington Post
