The world had just finished the most lethal and brutal century of warfare that mankind had ever experienced. Our enlightened elites told us that modern technology, the new economy of the information age, and the wonderful reality of globalism would bring prosperity to most, bring the global village closer together, create a common bond, break down the walls of diversity to establish peaceful co-existence between nations, a collective utopian paradise run by the few for the many. After all, that is what all the humanitarian wars of the nineties were all about. Of course there was never any veracity in this destructive and deceptive philosophy, it was always about the prosperity of the few at the expense of the many. Waging international war was and is for the elites, always about accumulating more power for themselves, independent of the people, then it was ever about humanitarian compassion or self-defense. The American left, i.e. - neoconservatives, socialists, liberal globalists, represent the real danger to the American way of life and to international order more than the present day Hitler (Saddam) could ever prove to be. Our constitutional liberties which was designed to give the average American enough freedom to, when mobilized, act as a restraint to the arbitrary power of the state, is being systematically subverted by the Bush government in its mythical pursuit for security. The clique in Washington is not affected by any legal constitutional restraints and is not only threatening foreign nations with “You are either with us or with the terrorists” but, in addition, is most significantly designed for domestic consumption. President Bush’s speech to the United Nations clearly represents the virtual image of a change in international rules and conduct between sovereign nations. Bush’s speech clarifies that we live in a brave old world of power politics where military power is used to establish government policy and to coerce other nations. In other words, the more things seem to change the more they really remain the same. We heard from President Bush the same old predictable mantra of freedom, peace, human rights, western justice, and women’s rights for a liberated post Saddam Iraq. On the face of it all it sounds exquisite and so democratic. The problem with this play in compassionate conservatism is that it is deluded and disingenuous where truth contradicts its very essence and authenticity. It is the same nonsensical reasoning that we heard from the humanitarian warriors of the Clinton regime when they decided to create, arm and release Muslim terrorists in Kosovo and later criminally bomb the Christian Serbs for having the audacity to defend themselves. The fabricated and elevated accusations by the elites concerning genocide and ethnic cleansing by the Serbs later the Macedonians served its purpose to induce media frenzy and create an alternate reality for a compassionate justification of an illegitimate and aggressive war. The same demonization of Saddam by the oligarch is directly related to the lack of truthful evidence and legal encumbrance in creating a legitimate case for war. Let us look at some of what President Bush said in his address to the United Nations. We read - “the people of Iraq can shake off their captivity. They can one day join a democratic Afghanistan and a democratic Palestine, inspiring reforms throughout the Muslim world. These nations can show by their example that honest government, and respect for women, and the great Islamic tradition of learning can triumph in the Middle East and beyond.” So, America is in the Middle East to establish democracy for Afghanistan, Iraq, and a future Palestine. I wonder what the Israelis think about a future Palestinian state…most likely is that they very well know this will never happen. The Muslim world is going to have to shape up and stop being so Muslim, and introduce western morality and some apple pie of course. Do you think Bush is really sincere about honest government? By the way, President Bush never mentioned Osama bin Laden once, wasn’t he the one who attacked America and continues to threatened more of the same. I guess he’s yesterday’s monster. President Bush also said that - “Twelve years ago, Iraq invaded Kuwait without provocation. And the regime's forces were poised to continue their march to seize other countries and their resources.” Bush was referring to “continue their march” to Saudi Arabia which was the pretext used by President Bush elder for aggressive war a decade ago. It was a blatant lie then as it is now, in this instance like father like son. Bush’s assertion that Iraq invaded Kuwait without provocation is an interesting one. Kuwait’s slant drilling and thievery of fourteen billion dollars of oil probably had nothing to do with irritating a nut like Saddam. Besides, at the time good old evil Hussein was still a valuable ally to the United States and received a green light for invasion of Kuwait by then American ambassador for Iraq, the inconspicuous April Glaspie. Unfortunately for Saddam, Iraq, and Kuwait it was a nasty little set up. The United States is the last remaining super power which is the politically correct way of saying the last remaining empire. The neo-imperial policy of “preemptive strike” by the Bush regime is nothing less than naked aggression based on ostentatious moralism and insubstantial intelligence. This sort of international bravado can only succeed when there is no opposing military entity to challenge this wreck less escapade. Indeed, since there is no balancing force in the world at this time the invasion of Iraq and the subsequent invasions after Iraq will happen sooner than later. It will be only a matter of time when other nations will take the American example and start preempting all over the place. This world will see many more wars in the near future, and America thanks to our elites will be entangled in most of them and the direct cause of many of them. The poignant reality in this Wilsonian attitude towards foreign policy is that hardly any of it has any real vital interests to protect for the nation. The war party in Washington has deliberately confused American interests with those of Israel’s and the continued war between Iraq and American oil elites is invariably about ending terrorism against Israel rather than the United States. The frenzy of government and media propaganda will substantially increase as we get closer to the next phase in the war with Iraq. The governments of Britain, United States and Israel will try to link Iraq and al-Qaeda no matter how outrageous the lie, manipulation and the lack of accurate evidence. Iraq would be wasting time by allowing U.N. inspection teams back into the country because it would not avert war which the war party desperately wants in their incessant lust for blood. The war party wants regime change in Iraq no matter what and there is nothing that will stop them not even common sense and the truth. The United Nations will prove to be just another American elitist play thing, and succumb to American pressure and set up Iraq for U.N. approval for military action against Saddam. Even the Saudis will now fall into line and allow American forces to strike Iraq from Saudi territory under a contrived U.N. mandate. <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
