INSANITY


"The situation needs to be turned as quickly as possible into one in which the US is not fighting the Iraqis, and neither are Iraqis. Expecting the Iraqis to bludgeon themselves into a democratic society is preposterous. The present conflict can only be resolved by turning the whole matter over to a UN peacekeeping force that does not contain any Americans, and that does not continue to set the Iraqi people against each other."

[From "Seeing Our Way Out Of Iraq" by Terrell E. Arnold, Retired Senior Foreign Service Officer and former Chairman of the Department of International Studies of the National War College.]


I have been banging the keys about Bush & Co and the Iraq war for some time.
The above paragraph is sensible, but Bush is senseless and faithful to the PetroPentagonCorporate powers which he bends his knees to.
Forget about any higher deity.
The deity of George W. Bush is Money, Power and Hubris.
Bush, our president of War, is rattling his options about Iran on his imperial table, and Iraq may have to take a backseat to the American-assisted Israeli first strike on Iran.
Just as Afghanistan took a backseat to Iraq, Iraq may have to take a backseat to Iran.
Is a person close to being insane when they continue to do something that they know is wrong?
How close is George W. Bush?

Your ears are covered and your consciousness needs some expansion.

I believe you have the accurate description for the United States: "We are war."


Richard Clarke was thrown out the door when he wanted to concentrate on Al-Queda. Paul O'neill, too.

"Nanananna". Isn't that from the Beatles song REVOLUTION? And it just might change the UNREALITY.

You are a Perpetual War proponent:

"We will be at war whether or not we leave Iraq."


I do not want to get used to the world the way it is.
