Duck and cover! Too late. It probably wouldn't have
done any good anyway if there were a radiation, chemical, or germ laden
cloud above your home. You might not even know it was there. It may
have started at some war zone far away and it may have hitched a ride
with the jet stream. When it arrived over your house it may have trickled
down some death and then moved on. |
The
unpleasant reality of our mad planet today is that many nations may
just be waiting, fingers poised on the war buttons, for President Bush
to attack Iraq as their cue to attack any other nations they have disputes
with and for which they can trump up some phony pretext or other. Phony
pretexts are the order of the day, it seems. My guess is that if any
nations do attack others once Bush unleashes his own dogs of war, that
some will parrot some of Bush's really stupid rationales including the
one about bringing democracy to various anti-freedom loving despots.
Hey, it seems to be working on some of the Stepfordized apple cheek
PTA types in the US who call Radio Pudgy and drool numb nut PR lines
such as "Stay the course," and other slogans planted in their
subconscious minds by the mass manipulators.|

The
real problem with some of the copy-cat wars that may break out, as already
indicated above, is that unlike Iraq, many of these nations really do
have weapons of mass destruction. And, also unlike Iraq, many of these
nations have more sophisticated delivery systems than camels. If such
wars break out like a string of Chinese firecrackers wrapped around
a rotting grapefruit, they may spread radiation, toxic chemicals and
disease across our two ocean moats into the U.S. itself. Chances are
there wouldn't be too many (there are hardly ever "too many"
deaths for the war mongers) people in the U.S. killed directly, but
for an accurate count of the death count, wait a few years as deaths
from unexplained cancers and other diseases begin to rise. Far away
wars aren't so far away anymore. Just as the air above us carries people
to far distant places, it also can carry radiation, chemicals and disease.|

Yes,
the above may sound a little like the concerns we heard in the days
when many Americans were watching Father Knows Best, building bomb shelters,
and thinking they could duck under their tables and survive a nuke blast
on their front lawns. But now, simply because so many nations have these
weapons, the possibility of this or similar things happening do present
a real danger. Think second hand smoke will kill you? Wait until we
have second hand nukes, germs and poison gas. |

The
Bushies, who constantly say they want to bring democracy to Iraq (read,
force American notions of democracy on Iraq), can't even seem to live
with the democratic rules of the U.N., and promise to attack Iraq no
matter what the U.N. says. To blunt the fact that the U.N. isn't going
along with the rush to war and to avoid looking like we're the lone
nut case nation seeking war, the Bushies are bribing tiny nations no
one has ever heard of to join our coalition. So far it seems we have
East Greasemypalm, Lower Bribeme, and West Gimmegold on our side. Of
course, "on our side," doesn't mean that these countries will
actually send any troops to die. It just means that they're sitting
on bags of gold we gave them and cheering us on. 
Of
course, the U.N. is not the favorite organization of many rightists
in the U.S. but it does have its purposes. Trying to prevent needless
wars is one of them. Now, had Iraq attacked the U.S. and if the U.N.
said the U. S. shouldn't go on the offensive against Iraq, this would
be a different matter, but that's not what is going on, even though
some Bush apologists and war mongers are trying to convince people that
Iraq, a sand pile about the size of California, and thousands of miles
away, is somehow a major threat to the U.S.|
If the U.N. were to vote against things that truly affect
the U.S. the U.S. would be justified in disobeying. However, a risk
to the U.S. from Iraq is so remote as to make the U.S. look like a sadistic
bully and aggressor to the rest of the world. We're becoming an even
uglier Ugly American to the rest of the world than we have been in the
past. |
More
than a few people are wondering about Bush's seeming obsession with
Saddam. In observing this, one is reminded of the neurotic obsession
that Chief Inspector Dreyfus had for Inspector Closeau in the Pink Panther
movies, Right before our eyes Dreyfus deteriorated and his tic got ever
more pronounced as his schemes to do away with Closeau failed. Suppose
for a moment, just as pure conjecture, that Mr. Bush does have some
sort of neurotic obsession with Saddam. What might be it's source? Could
it be, again just as conjecture, that in his subconscious mind, Mr.
Bush has substituted Saddam for his own father, and is he on the one
hand trying to destroy his father in a socially acceptable way by destroying
Saddam/father for having sent him to prep school in New England, while
at the same time he is trying to get love and respect from the elder
Mr. Bush by doing what the latter failed to do--kill Saddam? Will Mr.
Bush's personal devils all be gone once Saddam is dead, or will even
more personal devils pop up, and will we go to war again to rid him
of these other devils?|
After watching Mr. Bush at his press conference the
other day, many people are wondering if he was on tranquilizers. His
performance was just too laid back and sleepy. Could Mr. Bush be in
therapy? There's nothing to be ashamed of in this--the mind is a strange
thing--but could his judgment be impaired to the point where he can't
distinguish between real threats and imaginary ones? |
At
that press conference, Mr. Bush repeatedly said that his job is to protect
the American people and that's why we may go to war against Iraq. Well,
clearly, Iraq is not attacking America and poses no real threat. Meanwhile,
Mexico is attacking us with millions of American-way-of-life destroying
illegal aliens, but Bush is doing nothing to stop the invasion. Also,
our economy has gone into the toilet since Mr. Bush took office, and
he doesn't seem to know what to do to fix it. Instead, he's running
after Saddam, which seems to be a modern version of playing the Fiddle
while Rome burns. 
Whatever
the cause for the rush to war, it's not going to be the big mouth Bushies
and other elites or their relatives who will be killing and being killed.
For these elites, war is like a football game, they watch it on their
big screen TV's while being waited on. Most of them have never even
been in uniform and never will be. Neither will their children. You
see, their children will be going away to expensive colleges so they
can be the war mongers of the next generation, while working class Americans
will be the ones doing the dying.|
What nations may get froggy if the U.S. attacks Iraq
and delegitimizes the U.N.? The list is long, but Pakistan may have
signaled something this week when it seems to have sought some brownie
points with Bush by arresting Khalid Sheikh Mohammed of Al Qaeda. In
order to ensure we all know that Pakistan is our pal, Pakistani officials
immediately took to the airwaves and said that the arrest shows that
Pakistan and the U.S. are good friends. In other words, should Pakistan
attack India or vice versa, Pakistan will call in that marker. |
North
Korea wants to reunify the Koreas and is calling Bush's bluff just about
every day as they insult him the way the French insult the British in
Monty Python movies. This week they sent up a bunch of jet fighters
that locked their radar on to one of our reconnaissance planes. Apparently
the Bushies don't consider that too big a deal, since like bullies everywhere,
they'd rather take on a weak nation like Iraq than a strong one like
North Korea. But, let Saddam Hussein so much as look a the sky and the
Bushies consider that a serious provocation. This sort of thing is making
the U.S. look stupid all around the world. |

Time
will tell, but it may be that we have entered an age of chaos and war
unlike any we have previously seen. This seems to be a natural concomitant
to a perverse new world order vision in which the present unique nations,
religions, and peoples are considered to be part of the old world order
and which must be destroyed. The globalists, who I often call blenders,
are heck bent (there's that Bushism again) on homogenizing nations,
races, religions and world views through all means possible. Eternal
war is just a logical, even if unintentional, ramification of an underlying
blending philosophy. This is so, because at its heart, blending is a
sadistic philosophy that demands complete submission and conformity
based on a bland and mediocre neutral Americanism in all things.
