Alright...I'm really confused now...We wanted to get rid of Saddam because he had WMD. We went in, oops, he didn't have any, but we (Bush) really wanted to bring freedom to Iraqis and remove the dictator because that will just make the whole middle east free and clear for business.

But wait now we are talking about Libya and Sir. Col. God, Mohamar Ghadafi ( popularly elected leader of the nation!!!!) and its all ok for him as long as he gives up what he doesn't have.

Am I missing here something or the massmezmorizing media is again going along with the power in the white house. I have not heard or read even a statement in passing about how funny this whole thing is.

I want our soldiers on shores of Tripoli right now, freeing the oppressed people of Libya.

You know something, Saddam has been captured and all is well in the western from now. The barbaric Orientals are under control once more. After all they lack intelligent equaling Europeans and Americans and therefore must be ruled. Its for their own sake that benevolent imperial occidental forces are all over orient trying to civilize these brutes. The west will bring democracy by force of M16 and Bradley fighting machines much like French and British did not too long ago. The basic imperial west's view has not changed even though the way the orient is being ruled has.

I see a long road ahead with miscalculations that will cost west big time. If the believe that third world is genetically inferior to Europeans and Americans remains unchanged we are in for a major clash................Where these skirmishes are going to look like picnics!!!

It's amazing Bush's statement about Saddam are identical to Egypt's English administrator's references to Arabia (an Arab rebel fighting British rule) in around 1913!!! God save us, nothing has changes in 100 years!!!

Read Orinetalizim by Edward Said and books ha has reference, it will open your eyes. You will then see how heartland USA, majority of Europeans, and republicans are really thinking...

Day by day we are happily witnessing further expansion of killings that is going on in Iraq in our name. Another case of a distant war were we can continue with our norma lives and think about what to buy for our loved ones for Christmas, go to movies, welcome our boys back from the front, and screem about how partiotic we are. This military adventure is doomed because it was illegal, based on lies, and did not pass the moral test.

Our national interest does not reside in domination of those that disagree with us. We must and in time will learn to compromise and not use the old and tired West against them line of thinking. This narrow view will not change the ultimate outcome except it may delay the inevitable a little bit. That is the world becoming one and not necessarily in line with American version of that oneness. Arabs, Islam, Chinese, Russian, and all others views will be part of that future will look like.

So I say to today's masters, get over yourselves and overcome the false sense of all knowing and tell your leaders they are naked!!!!

Industrial productions, standard of living, size of your weapons, intellectual depth, and your god is not going to help you keep what you have!!!!!!!!!

What do you make of this, leader of freeworld (Lord Bush) has to give moral support to his soldiers by turning off Airfarce 1's lights and hide like a Rumbulan to slip past angry subjects. It is sad and really more telling of the lies he and his administration has been feeding the hard working, tax paying, and moral people of this land. Except of course, a few racist, imperialist, money grubbing bodies of his.

I like to see him visiting family of 15,000 + dead Iraqis, Died for nothing but high powered chess game to show them all with no clear objective and hope of resolution.

I hope this born again guy don't grab the bottle again!!!!

Again this is not about Mr. Bush and has more to do with an ideology of them against us that I believe entrenched in republican brain cells. I strongly believe this line of thinking comes very early on in life and is almost genetic in nature and it shows itself in the following outcomes:

Against gays;
Against globalization(not against WTO or FT);
Against abortion;
View world in context of WEST vs. Others;
Believe in West's inherent racial supremacy;
Christianity is the only answer;
terrorism is against Western values;
Against immigration.

Alright.....this is what happends when you are an occupier:

As an Iranian-American I have heard the same arguments coming from whityhouse as is being given by the mullahs...I think mullah are Republican!!!!
The Iraqi Governing Council banned the station, one of the Arab world's largest, from working in Iraq for broadcasting an audiotape a week ago of a voice it said belonged to Saddam Hussein (news - web sites). The U.S.-appointed council did not say how long the ban would be in effect.
In Washington, State Department spokesman Richard Boucher defended the ban. Boucher said the aim was to try "to avoid a situation where these media are used as a channel for incitement, for inflammatory statements, and for statements and actions that harm the security of the people who live and work in Baghdad, including Iraqi citizens themselves."
.
.
.
New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists also condemned the government action.
"Statements from Saddam Hussein and the former Iraqi regime are inherently newsworthy, and news organizations have a right to cover them," said the group's Middle East program coordinator, Joel Campagna.
"This is the latest in a string of heavy-handed actions by the Iraqi Governing Council and U.S. and coalition authorities toward the media that make us apprehensive about the future of press freedoms in Iraq."
The Paris-based media watchdog group Reporters Without Borders called the closure a violation of freedom of the press and said it represented "methods ... that are contrary to the promises of setting up a democracy in Iraq."
"It's going down the wrong road," said Josh Friedman, head of international programs at Columbia University's School of Journalism in New York. "A free press is an essential component of democracy. If the free press doesn't always say what you want, that's something you have to live with."

In the audiotape purported to be Saddam, broadcast Nov. 16, the speaker told Iraqis that the "road of jihad (holy war) and resistance" is the only one to make the "armies of the unjust occupation leave our country." He criticized Iraqis who cooperate with coalition forces, calling them "stray dogs that walk alongside the caravan."

May Iraqis have their Turkey too. I was watching "60 wasted minutes" subject of 1991 war POW's asking for $800M from Iraqis for their mistreatment. You know I don't have any problems with letting legal system punitively nail the bastards that are violating UN charters!!!!! Let the 19 POW's get their $800M but let not forget the 22M Iraqis that were invaded illegally and are being killed so our national interest stays protected!!! The estimate of the Iraqi dead is around 15,000, so if 19 POW get $800M them how much Iraqis are getting from US government. I let you all do the math. Oh, lord Bush has moved $1.5b in Iraqi assets the were frozen to the treasury to pay Halliboton, how convenient. And they tell us its not about domination and imperialism.......

Now some may say our 19 POW's case is different because they are American. To them I say good for you and keep killing Arabs!!!

Its never too late to change direction and recover from this doomed mission of killing terrorists. Why, we must know by now that you can't simply kill radicals coming from a 350M strong Arab base. What west should and for god's sake must do is allow Islamic reformation to take place. How you do it is by disengaging with Arab dictators. Let the house of Saudi, hosehead Mobarak, Abdulah, and the rest fall into history's waste baskests. I know, I know, this will screw up the balance for the short term by long term returns are great!!!

All Bush has to say tomorrow is we no longer support this nonelected governments and would ask them to leave their stolen housed and positions. I guarantee You'll see almost immediate reduction is attacks against US and its western interests. Shit, you can even let some of these wackos take over Jordan or Qatar. That is sure way of getting this infested abscess to crack open. Once rank and file see how these protectorates of Islam conduct themselves when in power they will learn not blindly follow.

Then we have the beginning of an Islamic (sunni) reformation that will change our world's demographic.

Bush, you must be honest and fair....................

Its beginning to look more like a desperate reactions by whitehouse to events in Iraq. Now, every time an attack takes place they are blaming foreigners, is this for real. Did not we hear the same kind of statements during Vietnam excercise?!?!?!

Do neocons really think average American is that stupid to not understand that natural reaction to invasion and occupation is to resist!!!! And Arabs are not any different than any other nationality.

So, lets not get too fucking disconnected and acknowledge that its common to fight occupation.

Again, this stupid adventure by neocons through Bush will have no redeeming features. I just don't understand how bunch of supposed intelligent people would try this and do it in the name of our national security..............

I have a feature film idea:

Its called "Legal Briefs"

It is bout a US supreme court judge that engages in some nasty illegal activity based on the knowledge that very few antagonists that he may have will never allow this shenanigans to become public as to not diminish the high courts standing in the system. They view failure of the high court in this respect will have greater consequence than exposing the bastard for what he has become.

He became a judge five years earlier with impeccable records and with unanimous bipartisan approval.
.
.
.

.

Alright, now who is going to give a million buck for this idea?????? LOL

There are three simple possible reasons the Bush administration decided to invade Iraq:

1) They had conclusive evidence that Saddam had or was very close to having WMD and he was generally a bad guy.

2) Saddam had to be eliminated to reduce threat to the region/US and he was generally a bad guy.

3) Influenced by some very powerful lobby to invade while agreeing that its a win-win for US and other powers and he was generally a bad guy.

As it has been clearly demonstrated by the events after ousting Saddam if Bush administration used any of the reasons above to invade then we need to seriously consider who the hell is running this show!!

What has been done in our name is against Geneva convention and all UN resolutions concerning waging war. They violated Uniform Code of Military Justice, which directs military personnel to obey the "lawful command of his superior officer". For more info see http://www.omjp.org//ArtLarryDisobey.html

Can we say enough is enough when we have revenged 9/11 deaths, let say, with ratio of 10 to 1 (since 10 Arabs/Afghans could equal one American in a good day). That means 30,000 of them basterds, right. Here is a site to keep track of at least the iraqi's total:

http://www.iraqbodycount.net/

I guess the ration was much higher in Vietnam.

Its funny, now US and Israeli's are killing Arabs almost everyday!!!! The boss couldn't sit on the sidelines and had to get involved. The seragates just can't do the job.

Lets not forget the invasion and occupation of Iraq was, is, and still is illegal and would serve no use to fight against terror. US by violating every civilized laws has set a precedent that will be hard not follow by any kakmani dictator in the world. Unless of course we invaded rest of the accesses of evil and anti democratic nations one after the other. And disregard Geneva conventions and rules of military engagements.

Are we then safer than we were a day after 9/11, I say may be not!?!?! With Israeli's WMD uncheked and fear of our so called allies in the every corner of the world things are headed south in no time.

God save the "Bill of Rights".

One more thing, our leader's actions controdictss their nicely spinned sound bits. OH we have such a short memory...............Just read between the lines on what is happening in Iraq now.

....Bye for now.....

Here we go, just as expected, now the real shit is hitting fan...The casualties are mounting, more Arabs with different persuasions are being killed in Iraq by bullets brought to you by US taxpayers. Its no longer the remnants of the old regime. Its now a galvanized and discontent groups of iraqi's from all walks of life. A women in Karbal, devout Moslem in Najaf,...etc. Did anybody expect anything else, how can a occupying force be treated in any other way.

The other side if this black hole is showing its ugly head also. Some ranking republicans are asking or better yet demanding the Iraqi's pay for rebuilding. Here is another reminder, who went in and made the mess and now asking the poor defeated nation to pay to cover the cost of rebuilding. I have hunch that in about a year or so if things settle down on the ground same ranking republicans will ask that Iraqi oil should pay for liberation costs. Did someone said imperialists.........All that bull shit about freeing the Iraqi's from Saddam and riding the world of WMD in "wrong Hands" was just an ad campaign,,,,right.

History of superpowers has shown that end always has justified the means.

I say there is not a fucking thing we can do on the ground anymore and frankly I'm not sure anymore if going to polls and voting this assholes out would solve anything since we have two Coke or Pepsi parties that control the electoral process. And no one is talking about grassroot efforts anymore. Green party hasn't been watered and is wilting. Other so called socially objective organizations are working on only variations on the dame Coke or Pepsi theme.

I guess we'll keep going that way until the nature corrects itself. Meanwhile I will keep talking about this stuff, you just can't give up.

Well...IF Israel is not to be not restricted in defending herself than Palestinians are also can not be restricted in seeking liberation from a well armed occupation force. Now..Does this sound like a benevolent superpower trying to broker peace in middle east, I'm afraid not.

So...The carnage will continue and the one and only responsible entity is the US foreign policy in middle east. Keeping the Israel supplied with the most sophisticated weaponry will not produce a Jewish state victory. Did I say victory?, what is that?

I can't believe what I heard today...

In Detroit today, I think, Arab leaders and US businessman are meeting to discuss how to improve the fucked Arab market for taking. I just can't believe this, is anybody in DC awake!!!!! Pepsi or Coke dude said there is 365M Arabs are ready for the next pob and chips!!!! Someone has to at least mention who are the fuck this half wit dictators and prince shit heads that we are talking to, and then White house boys wonder why they hate us!!!!

We just don't learn do we, God bless the empire...

I feel good today...

I assume becuase fewer Iraqis and Americans are dying or being injured. Like everthing else in this world this illigal act will pass and rest in cubby holes of history. I'm just afraid that next time we invade there will be WMD and we will all be sorry. Meantime lets hope our smarter and wiser global leaders come to realization that we must be engaged each and everyday for just causes. Not just when we are personly attacked or impacted.

Last thing.......How can anyone with straight face blame everything on Palestinians, lets see, aren't there like several settlements all over westbank and gaza????Doesn't Israel have a standing army in Plaestanian teritory? I guess west just hasn't had any recent memory of being invaded-occupied and every act of libaration thus has become a terror act!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where is the logic..........................

When I say we must be evenhanded or this shit is doomed, do you remember Rony's "beloved Contras", weren't they freedom fightingly raping and killing peasants?

Here is another Idea of Mine....

Assuming Bush and neocons are right and we must fight terror with terror, so we go ahead and proceed with nuturalizing Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Sudan, and few other troublemakers. Ok, its done, we have forces made of both EU and US in all thoes countries, trust me there is no other way, what do we have now. Besides bunch of happy Israelies we have nothing. As we all ought to know there is no way in hell we can contain this mess without being evenhanded. Next thing you know, Israel says now palestinians can be moved to Lebenon, as you know that pice of shit dirt is promissed by some dude.

Now what we have thousands of mini terror attacks everywhere. The other folks with promissed "heaven" sure aint gona sit and take it like a sheep hurder. They will reorg and hit the infidal with prick like intensity all over. Even Israel will not be any safer than she is now.....Just aint gona end....

You think now we have Sadam and Ben layid then we'll have hundreds of these charectors to deal with. It will never end and I promisse you, you and I and our 401K's will not be any safer.

I go back to what I said before, respect your enemy and don't diregard them as savages. Everyone has greivence we just have to listen and we'll see that today's terrorist can easily become tomorrow's peace maker. And for crying out loud don't stand in front of the fucking teleprompter and act like a fucking dip shit rambo. I know you have to act tough for the local consumption but tone it down dude. There is a persian proverb that says" you can attract more bees with a little hony than all your Yale education".

OK, is it time to ask Iraqis the "Big Question"
Are you better off today than you were before the invasion? Now, lets have Galop or a well known poling institution conduct a compehensive pole to try to answer that question. And say, a year from now do it again. I will even agree to have newcons come up with "appropriate " questions and survey methodology.

I am angry today........

I was having dinner with family accompanied with our newly arrive twins. You know how it is when you are with five-month-old twins; everyday wants to talk to you. So, this lady holding about a six month old baby comes to our table and we talk baby talk...But here where I got mad...She says that baby's father, her son, is in Iraq and his wife is about to be sent over there too. I looked at the baby and just wanted to find the idiot that created this unnecessary killing mess and have him look at what he has done. The twenty-year-old father of this infant is probably kicking doors in and humiliating Iraqis and thinking he is doing it to protect his nation. He has even been may be involved in killing Iraqis, who knows.

I just had this empty feeling about why are we doing this to ourselves. I was sad at firs but later became angry. This aggression was not necessary...

Couple of quick thoughts

Self censorship is going to do me in...Since I fit the profile I find myself not freely expressing my thought, ideas, and views. This is the most damaging thing on human sole and sense of being.

Don't fight terror with terror, before 9/11 we had few hundres thousand muslims hating us now the numbers could be 35 - 60 Million. Are we wining the war!>!>!>!>

Some one is watching me

Since I fit the profile I have this nagging feeling that they are watching me, you know who I mean. Thanks to "patriate Act"..................

Here are few thoughts:

In Charlie Rose's show last night a French pholosopher that has writen a book about Pearlman (NY Times repoter violanlty killed in Pakistan) got me going. He is what Charlie "brown" called anti-anti-American. He said french are against America because she has Jews, Blacks, Hispanics,.... living and working and have contributed to a strong, free, and progressive nation. Mr. philosopher said french anti-Americans are not your run of the mill lefties, but rather the ultera rights who are inspired by faciasim of 20's and 30's. What a pile crapp!! Here is another wacko saying they hate us because we are free. Does this shit make any sense to anyone. Why don't the French, Germans, Saudies, Iraqis,...etc. hate Canada. They are just as free. You know its like saying, everyone hates Microsoft because they make good softeware and they are jelouse. That is not true at all, the intelegent people don't like Microsoft because it is a monopoly.

So, they hate us because we are monoploy and no oversight body is allowed to monitor our activities. As simple as that, Mr. Frenchi philosopher!!!!

Reminder:
Palestinian-Israeil thing is still fucked up as it has been for the last 37 year. Remmeber what I said earlier, this issues will have to be resoved before we can direct our attention to anything else in that region. Is anyone going to listen or not?? If not then lets brace ourselves since more vilance in all fronts are inevitable.

UN:
I tell you we are monopoly and you say no, we went into Iraq illigaly and messed everything up and now asking UN to come and clean this shiit up. Microsoft does the same thing, it makes crappi software and if someone copies it "illigaly" they'll run to AG's office and ask for remedy.

Bush/Iran
Something is fishi in Denmark, I get this feeling that Bushi is sealing his fate with mullah's of Iran. It appears when one reads in between the lines mullah's and Bushi have slept together.....................I hope not..........

Is it only me or....................

Occupation will produce combat fetigue and eventual pull out. We are not like Israel where occupation is our only way of survival, or are we becoming that? There is no way in hell we can put this mess back together again, unless we clean up our act and behave evenly and justly. Lets get this straight they have ligitimate greavence, and don't be telling me otherwise, that we as western powers have caused. The old and new empires have fucked with that region so much and now the chickens have come to roost. Big boys in the big house will have to change direction or this whole god damn shipe is doomed.

I just ahd to say that again.....sorry...

Is it just me or......

Why is it I don't see or hear anyone doing anything or at least question this imperial occupation. Is it enought that we can pay our rents, play our Xbox, watch our favorite shows on mass mezmorizing channels, and in a droid like way keep going. Is this the Orvelian world that we have to get used to? I hope not. Is there anything we can do to change the tied, or should we waite for another 4 years until a democrate will come in the big house and fix this mess again. Then, four or eight years later do it again until nothing is left to rule!!!!! Are we going to continue to react based on fear and loathing................God I hope not....I am sick of this shit. Somebody today wanted to jock with me and when he found out my name was Ali he mentioned without even a half a second of contemplation, "chemical Ali" right!!!???? I am sure he is a god fearing church going father of two with wife the works hard at juniors PTSA. She bakes and donates tons of her time to local charities and dreams about the pool boy.

Bush and the great white boys have permiated so deep into our beings that we don't even know what the hell we are saying anymore. God save our kids that have to hear us babble in front of TV and demonstrate our haitred for out fellow man in the name of patriatizim. The circle will go on.................Are we ever going to break from the pack and move forward...................I just don't know.........I was shocked when my free love hippi wanabe 19 year old daughter said our boys in uniforms will fix things.

I guess I'm just gona give up and shut up.........

Was thinkign about the power outage in NE of US and Canada where someting like 50M people were affected. What if we (the west) have an anual power outage let say for 24 hours and delcare it a national holiday. This much dependency to a man made utility is not a good thing, right Martha? Anyways, I just don't think we are going to heed God's massage and contiue to validate ourselves by FORCE. Because god damn it freedom is not free and you just have to fight for it. This is what west is teaching us, "Fight for Freedom". I wish eventhough this is not a right way to bring peace anywhere that was the case, but its not, why we (peace loving god fearing freedom fighters) fight to keep waht we have and worked so hard to get!!!

Until we reexamine what is it we are getting, this shit will go on!!!!!!!

Is it me or anyone else gets this feeling that Bush admininstration folks are all used car lot salesman when they talk about benefiting from reconstruction of Iraq. Even the long dead British empire never talked so bluntly about devouring a subject nation, eventhough they were doing it. Are we losing our minds or neocons think American people are dumb?

Everytime I see references in news media to how much American companies are going to gain from Iraq, or Europians that didn't help with the war will be locked out, little of my hope for the future of mankind dies..................Is this one of the pillars of that we stand for from invading a small ($15B/year) country!?!?!? I am ashaimed of what our politicians have become... If that is the case why don't we bomb the hell out of China and rebild it?

HAVE WE GONE MAD

I just refuse to belive that we as the people can just read about these events and go on paying our mortgages, vacation at Disneyland, plan out son or doughter's weddings,....etc.

Lets be clear about few things here:

1) UN is dead, we killed it, don't be talking about getting them back to cleanup your mess, they are not the mexican house mades.

2) Lies...lies....lies...End should not justify the means

3) Can't pull out and can't stay...did someone say Vietnam...I hope not,,,elections are closer than you think.

4) Are we safer today than we were before the invasion....well!! are we?

5) Escalation..escalation..is the name of occupation


I hope we have the fortitut to learn form our mistakes and build on them rather than forfilling profecy. Don't mix honor and pride with doing the right thing.

It is frustrating that after 27 or so years of looking out I find our world so unneccessarly fucked up. What I see more clearly is that we, right/left, or any other idealogy want the same think, except in tring to go about it difrently we get side trcked. Just look at neocons right now, they had (some still have) this great idea to fix the world and rid it of all the bad, ungodly elements. But what we have going now is series of brush fires that needs putting out meanwhile the original idea is begining to fade. They've all done that before, Billy did it.

The anology I have goes like this, your parents have all the right intentions to raise a good producitve, creative, and independant person. To get you there they do everything in their power to provide you what you need to become that person. Meanwhile as you become more your own man dad or mom begin not to like what they see and give you that dirty look.... and disappointed glance....
You then starat saying what the fuck they want from me and shit hits the fan from there.........................Do you see the pattern.

Our world situation from its environment to geopolitics has been side tracked that way as long as I can remember. Here are an example of what has happend to events in recent past:

We told USSR you are an evil empire and should go away and free your people, they did, and people, namely satelite countries became independant. But look at that mess over in central asia and no one is saying a peep. There are four or five Afganistans in the terror boiler cooking. No one, No one other than some wacko far leftwingers are saying anything about Chechnia or other places over there. All that is because we now don't like what we see and in some ways wish the old USSR would take charge again....You see like parents that wishes the loud mouth junior could go back in time and stay in grade school.

Because NO ONE HAS A VISION ANYMORE....Instead of occuppying useless Iraq we could have lead the way by not sleeping with dictators like..Mobarak, Abdulah, Saud family, bunch of African, central/south American el-presidente for life, and numarous Asian kings and lords.

For crying out loud we can't even figure out how to bring real democracy to Mexico with which we have so much in common. Why is it that a great nation like Mexico can't provide for its citizen and so many of them have to come to US? You think we can export democracy halfway across the world...Are they on something or we are being spined.

The 21st century could have ushred a true democracy based on individule freedom for all citizens of this planet. NOW that is vision. Even a FREE (truley free) market model can bring that all inclusive freedom to all people not just the board members. But this freedom means that we all respect one another's cultures and allow cutural freedom to be part and parcel of this individual freedom.

Its funny we in this country talk about diversity and multiculturalizim, but when it comes to our foreign policy its onle American interest that is paramont. SO..are we an empire or not. If our mission is higher than that then lets show it...Otherwise everyone except born agian and the heartland will see right throught the smoke and mirror.

I am afriad with this current way of dealing with conflic, which is the same method that has been excecised for dacades, we're going to fill the 21st century with yet more wars and agony. The Histroy channel will have lot more programing material, but nothing more......

>>>>>WE BETTER Reformat THE HARD DRIVE>>>>


One last thing...mainstream media is becoming like walmart, big and irrelavant to the future but lot of cheap shit for today.

It was Tuesay afternoon at about 7 PM when I heard a Harly rumble down the street below my house. As I heard the sound I began thinking about the baby boomer that was probably riding the hog and having a blast thinking that he will live for ever. Then after a few seconds I realized the sound actually was coming from a yard waste tooter, one of thoes big ass 90 gallon ones, that was being rolled down the driveway by my fifty something year old neighbore guy behind me. So, its intersting that sounds and sights that we hear and see are so uncomfortably and easily misjudged and often misread.......just a thought.....To all tough baby boomers both hog riders and yardwate haulers, one way or another it will be all over before you know it dude!!!! GIVE A LITTLE>

Here is another idea...............Saddam as he realized the end was near, that was six months ago probably, he managed to make his mark. For one his attempt to fight against the invading army was more like a staged show. Then instead of making Custer like stand sent his army home, vacated all government institutions to be looted and cleaned up, and opened all the bank doors. The consequence is that he did not cause vast number of Iraqi's to be used as target practice and left nothing for the victor to take over. Is that cleaver or what, I just don't know, but sounds like a good idea.

Now we have to not only rebuild what we distroyed, but reinvent a government system that will require more time and occupation of the country. This prolonged occupation could lead to unrest and unrest lead to longer occupation.......you see the pattern!!!!

Meanwhile there is no smoking gun, except neocons are shrugging thier shoulders and saying we never said there is a need for the smoking gun. They know American people have a short memory and these minor detailes will not matter in the long run. Six mons from now they wont even be talking about Iraq. Does anybody remember Nicaragua!?!?!?! We did bring democracy to them through contras,,,,right. Go check that poor country out, its a mess.

I am disappointed with Iraqi brass, I kinda wanted to see them bigger than life with balls to kill themselves before being caught!!! Is that me or are there more like me out there in that twisted world of bull shitters......................

As Mark Twain notes: “...In matters concerning religion and politics a man’s reasoning powers are not above the monkey’s.”

Ok, the middle east is won!! I don't get the idea of naming what one does to ensure its survival and prosperity, WAR. The good old boys in the White House and Pentagon should be more creative and come up with a new name like Revenge, Teaching a Listen, or Operation Keeping Order. Here is my take on what this "War" was all about.

First, it wasn't and will never be about bringing democracy to Iraqi's or anyone else for that matter. Lets be clear, there is no way even in a cool day in hell where anyone can "bring" democracy to anyone else. Democracy is a process (not a Big Mac) that depends on indigenes factors and movements. Granted big powers have messed with the internal forces over there for so long (since world war II) that such native movements are hampered, but non the less it has to begin and reach its hight internally.

This overt "Operation" like many covert oprations in that past and by all indications in the future has three objectives:

1- Big one - Ensure that 9-11 like attack or WMD attack on US soil will not occur. I am all for that man.

2- Response to 9-11, this is for internal US consumption only, you can call it a wink and nod by DC power house to average citizen that a major enamy power house is paying for that crime, eventhough he may or may not have had anything to do with the original crime. This action suppose to bring a sense of comfort to the stressed out public. This is in some ways is a mob like approach to acts of vilance aginst it. You go and hit him and his cohorts hard to make sure they all undestand not to mess with Texan.

3- Long term US interest facilitation - Since political dances could take years and/or dacades to bring economic benefit to US, military actions have always been like short cuts for achieving that same goal. Interms of geopolitic/economic interest of US in the region this operation has pushed the clock by I would say about 15 years. I say this is very inexpensive and clever way always available to superpowers to open up windows of opportunities in a short order.

Now, we sit on the side line and watch the outcome, I predict that our forces will be in Afganistan and Iraq among other contries in the region for the next fifty years or whenever the fossile fuel is replaced. Please don't count on having our boys coming home soon. We will have about 5 to 10 thousand in Afghanistan and 25 to 35 thousand in Iraq (after the dost settles down).

Meanwhile the Iraq operation will bring some nice and easy (but small) business to US companies. We have to rebuild what we distroyed and after that I am sure Iraq will need to have the latest weapons from us to make sure Iran is not going wild there. This way Iraq will owe US and multinational banks tons of money with nice interest rates to ensure the every drop of oil out of the county is accounted for. Did you know Saudi Arabia and Kuwait was sold (didn't really buy them since US runs the show) lots of sophisticated weaponary that they'll never use. This means Saudi/Kuwaite oil is paying for US soldiers to maintain and operate the weapons, now this is full service!!!! I suspect Iraqi's weaponary will have to be maintained by US!!! I would have respected the US more if they had asked Iraq, Qatar, Saudi Arabia,....... to just pay let say 20% of thier oil revenue for protection and allwed them to blow the rest on rolex watches!!!! Then we wouldn't have to ride the high horse of moral nation crapp.

Here is my remedy (you see I just don't only bitch):

Have UN give all the Gulf nations and deadline to redraft their constitution, say in six months and begin building democratic institutions. Offer Middle East truth commission and give all Mobaraks, Sheikhs, and dum fucks graceful way out of power. They can even keep some of the ill gotten monies. Meanwhile US and Europians draft a international business transaction guidelines with enough transparacy for average citizen in Timbaktoo be able to see its "underware". Give UN institutions enough power so no fuck brain will be safe from legal ramafication of illigal act.

I need to see an independant Palistanian state represented at the UN by end of 2003, no and or buts. This means, a whole nation not a fucking swiss cheese, you know what I mean rummy/sharon. The fucking settlements have to go, kapish. Begin real discussion about disarming Jerousalim since it will become Palistan's capital (east half). Lets not forget to make sure Israel does not and will ever have WMD. In return we demand all newly elected Arab leaders spend one week a year in Israel kabuts to help that country, just joking!!! Iam getting tired of talking about this stuff..........

Power and supersize forces you to do things that you wouldn't normally do. Just look at Enron, thoes boys I don't belive had in mind to steel from the poor and line their pockets, but they wanted to keep the sick baby alive by any means! This is the story of our past. Quesstion is are we as free individules going to allow past dictate our present and future, I hope not. This world belongs to people that not only want change the path but are willing to work for it by acting locally and thinking globaly. To ensure we are safe from potential adevesaries we must ask why there should be potential adveseries. We are all in this hell hole togethere aren't we? Just remember, history has shown that great powers in an attempt to protect their citizens or so called constituants have in most cases thrown out the baby with the bath water. After fall of the evil empire we had such an opputunity to start a new begining, but it seams that at least for the short term we have resorted back to the old habits. Short term goals are coloring our long term hopes and aspirations.

Well, I have done it. After many years of resisting cyber merge I have capitulated. When in 1920's bikini was first introduced in US conservatives and alike (not neo-cons) said that would be the end of civilization as they knew it. Civilization not only didn't end but we(in wild west) have had an spectacular ride!!!!
