Why you gotta break balls?

Oscar Wyatt, a self-made billionaire, faces up to 72 years in prison for allegedly buying more oil than allowed from Iraq during the UN sanctions imposed after Saddam invaded Kuwait in 1991.

The sanctions imposed on Iraq were ruthless and hurt the Iraqi people far more than Saddam Hussein. In fact, it never hurt Saddam and instead turned out to be a direct attack on the already overburdened Iraqi people.

So why does the government have to break Wyatt's balls? Clearly it's because he's the only rich man the Bush Administration feels comfortable taking down. Forget the war-mongers at Halliburton, lets get a dude who brought a little more cash into a country being strangled by the bullies at the UN. In addition, Wyatt has been a vocal opponent of the Bush administration and has criticized both Iraq wars putting him on the government's hit list.

Wyatt may be no revolutionary hero, but there are so many other bourgeois who deserved to be incarcerated more than he does.
