The tangled web of warmongering


Bush-43 was careful to cultivate an American-centered image in his first run for Prexy in 1994. The dirty rat knew voters were sick and tired of this "world policeman" or "global cop" business. Reporters asked him, probably coached, whether he knew who the president of such-and-such country was, maybe the Republic of Georgia. He shot back that he had no idea and was proud of the fact. Yeah, sure -- what a scumbucket!

I feel sometimes like the real thing of a type he was mimicking. For instance, I don't understand the endless wars Bushy baby sucked us into and am, yes, fiercely, genuinely proud not to. Lots of you seem to be fluent in what goes on in which country, what revenge we're wreaking on whom over there, etc. More power to you, but to tell you the truth I find it outrageous that we've allowed things to get so far that people take the Establishment up on their proposition that those countries are our business.

I basically boycott this whole business. Try it and you may like it too. See, I'm impressed as all get out that a writer at Antiwar.com can write a piece crawling with details of war analysis like this

Winter of Discontent

......really am, but must confess I find its existence hateful, well, misguided as bitterly tragic sign of the times.

Please let's not drink the Kool-Aid. Let's stimulate original thought and demythologization wherever we go.
