Trust me, you are threatened
Reasoning
doesn't come easily to the president, even when presented
by Charley Reese:
Deterrence worked
against Josef Stalin, one of the greatest mass murderers in human history, even
though he was armed with a million times more weapons of mass destruction than
Iraq, but, in Mr. Bush's view, it will not work against Saddam.
The president
continues to shout "Fire!" when nations around Iraq aren't feeling any heat while
his bureaucrat buddies are making
half-truths and ignoring
reality.
"...several
sandwiches short of a full diplomatic picnic."
Without
those crucial sandwiches, the debate concerning Iraq, and the subsequent conquest
of the Middle East, is lacking. The only thing Bush and his chicken-hawks are
hungry for is a
combustible black fluid and an empire.
Who needs borders?
Not
the US military. Hoping to ride the coattails of the virulent spread of the
war on terror, the US government pleads with the world for rights to follow boats
into sovereign waters.
No
success like failure
Who can deny it...it is the nature of government:
failure is rewarded with more money, support and resources. Example: the military's failed
attempt to capture and destroy the human infrastructure of the al-Qaeda has
led to the a justification for the "axis of evil," an impending invasion of Iraq
and inevitable spread of covert US military actions.
Now Playing: M - Pire
Now touring
the nation's capital, the hit band M - Pire, featuring Warlord Bush on vocals,
backup singer Rumsy and
guitarist Wolfo.
The next leg of the "Overhaul" tour is the Middle East. Their spokesman reports:
“The
thinking in the administration [M -Pire] is really evolving
toward the idea of promoting democracy and regime change—an overhaul of
the Arab and Islamic world, rather than dealing with it as it is."(emphasis mine)

Death is working overtime
Yossi
Sarid has seen the evils of both sides of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and
wonders how it is to end. He
writes:
The
death machine works three shifts a day, cranking out victims, theirs and ours,
and is there anyone out there who can actually tell them apart?
Maybe
when one understands that all the dead are victims will the violence end....
