"Freedom, by its nature, cannot be imposed.
It must be chosen."
George W. Bush

Address to the United Nations

George W. Bush once again sounded very good.
His speech writer is very good.
But the above lines, which came at the end of his address to the United Nations, stick out like sore thumbs.
Did America impose its freedom on the Iraqi people when cruise missiles were launched by George W. Bush in his unprovoked pre-emptive attack on the nation of Iraq?
Did the Iraqi people choose freedom on that infamous first day of this long and horrendous war?
THE ANSWER TO THE FORMER IS YES!
THE ANSWER TO THE LATTER IS NO!
Mr. President, the world has seen what you have done.
The world listens to your words, but it doesn't believe a liar.
All of your words sounded wonderful.
It's too bad reality doesn't match your rhetoric.
The world now fears that you will bomb Iran.
The world does not need any more fear or fear of bombs.
The world needs a reprieve from war.
NO MORE WAR.

Neocons seek maximum chaos and instability in the Middle East in order to justify long-term US occupation of the region. Following this line of thought, neocons would regard the loss of a US aircraft carrier in the Persian Gulf as a way to solidify public support for the war. US public anger at the Iranians could even result in US public support for a military draft in order to win "the war on terror."

Neocons claim that tactical nuclear weapons are necessary to destroy Iran's underground facilities. However, the real reason for using nukes against Iran is to intimidate Iran from retaliating and to threaten the entire Muslim world with genocide unless Muslims bend to the neocons' will and accept US hegemony over their part of the world.
In his speech to the United Nations, Hugo Chavez might not have been too deep into hyperbole when he described Bush as an example of demonic evil.
