TitBits (006) PAX AMERICANA >It's the economy stupid"> - Marlon (goanet) >Osama's split & Wall Street's sagging > It's time to get that puppy wagging> - Calvin Trillin (quoted by Tariq-goanet) And it does not require geniuses to put two and two together to come by the catchful 22, the reason why GB Jr. wants his Iraq. That the US economy has been sliding downwards is an undeniable fact. That George wants to prove himself that he has done something about it, is understandable. What else is more ideal than to blow Saddam to smithereens along with his beleaguered Iraq? And one can visualize the sequence. The bombing of Iraq will destroy roads, bridges, buildings, airports, Saddam's own palace - hopefully along with Saddam himself and his doubles, schools, hospitals, the oil installations, the whole works except perhaps the targets that are sought to be bombed, never mind the thousands of ordinary people who do not count, anyway. If Bush gets half the chance, he is going to get over his hangover of Saddam having made an attempt on his father's life and reduce Iraq to rubble. And all this, with a ready and obliging partner in the blaring Tony. This in turn will translate into massive mobilization of men and material from the US to Iraq for rebuilding. And, are we looking at some 10 to 15 years here? And this solves US of A's un-employment problems. Businesses get a lease of life. Voters at home become less antagonistic. And BUSH stays put for another term. (read HERO). And perhaps , the installation of a friendly (read puppet) government in Iraq goes a long way for US in sharing the oil wealth of that nation and the signing of long term contracts, including defense. (Remember the era of the great Shah of Iran?) Britain too, gets bits and scraps from the fallout and Tony is at his smiling best and confident to face his voters. Kofi Annan gets a pat on his back from big Bush for a job well done, who goes on with his yatra for the next term as the Secretary General of the UN just like the pat on the back of the Gujarat Nazi "Narendra Modi" by the great demolisher of Masjids "Advani", encouraging him into reviving his obnoxious Gaurav yatra , which is nothing but asking for more trouble and more killings of innocent people. And everyone lives happily ever after, until the cycle comes due and another war must come by in another place. And I hope the next demolishing field is not India-Pakistan to provide good business opportunities for big George, and for Tony, after Iraq is done with.
