This Is The Most
Important Analysis I've Seen Yet
What We Need Is Outrage
Canada (America
Jr.) Has something to say!
This morning as I watch the news, read the
headlines, a great feeling of
sadness overwhelmed me. I see us from the viewpoint of history - Our
country as 1930's Germany, a nationalistic pre-emptive warmonger is
in
office who is set on destroying a group of people no matter what the
cost...in world public opinion and reputation, financially, morally.
The
people stand by, waving their flags, cheering on their
troops. The
news organizations call it a 'Moment of Truth.'
Here we sit watching the great bloody target being painted on a
country
which I am now sure (as are most people in the world) could not have
changed enough, done enough, disarmed enough to stop this war.
Of
course I suppose Iraq could have handed the keys to the government
over,
giving up their leaders and freedom of choice for
security....Would we
do that??? How can we expect another country to do that?
The final laugh, I am sure, will be by the people of the middle east
-
their hatred of Americans proven, justified at last. The behemoth
ignorant country will be destroyed from within as it goes through a
financial meltdown and the rights it stood for are removed in the
name
of security as we are repeatedly and justifiably attacked.
I, as an an American, a Veteran, apologize to the world for my
country.

I'm
pissed-off, frustrated, disappointed, angry, irritated and I'm also
afraid ... yes, absolutely afraid to write this email; but
I'm going to
write it anyway. It would be helpful if someone could find the courage
to stop calling this catastrophe that's about to happen in Iraq a
"war,"
and start calling it something that better describes what it really
is,
such as "a slaughter." I'm getting tired and sick of reading
about this
"massacre" that's about to happen, and seeing it called a
"war."
When the most powerful killing machine on earth rains down death and
destruction on a defenseless, powerless, civilian population ... it's
not "war!" Call it genocide, massacre, murder, slaughter, or
something
else, but please stop calling it, "war." Without doubt these
other
terrible things happen during war ... but in no way, shape or form can
this coming act of Genocide against the Iraqi people be called a
"war."
As I see it, it could be called "war" if the armed
forces of two, or
more, nations, were going to engage in battle. But when the armed
forces
of a Country engage in a systematic and deliberate killing of a
defenseless civilian population, it has to be called something else.
And after it's over and I see the likes of what's called a
"General,"
(in his own mind) Franks stand in front of the cameras and pat
himself
on the back as a consequence of his bravery and military expertise, I
believe I will literally vomit, and then plead, "PLEASE DEAR GOD
HELP US
... WE TRULY NEED YOUR INTERVENTION AND HELP."
Yours Hopefully,

I feel it as my duty, as one of your neighbors, to
inform you of what I
and those around me think of "you guys down there".
We do not watch CNN and think "O crap Powell is right we
better tell our buddies the USA to bomb them". We would have to
get the USA to do it because our military is
comprised of a few peacekeepers with guns.
Ever wonder why that is? Who has ever tried to kick our asses besides
a few colonial scraps a long time ago (sorry about the Whitehouse). We
sit around, drink beer and do not bomb countries that we cannot
pronounce.
Everyone likes us for that and no one wants to nuke us. Why are you
guys so unpopular? Perhaps it is the fact that you guys have such a
large military that you guys need such a large military. If you would
stop bombing all of these people maybe you would realise that they are
pretty cool guys. Have Bush and Saddam get together with a case of
beer, some wings and a big screen with some hockey on. Maybe
then they wouldn't think of him as such a dink and even have him over
for dinner.
Just a though but what do I know? I am just a Canadian student who,
like many will continue to march, and write letters, and protest until
you guys clam down a little.
Peace from your Canadian buddies
this
government has truly gone mad
This government has truly gone mad yet I don't see anyone ready to
put their
lives on the line to stop it.
The congress has thrown away all of our rights that were guaranteed
in the constitution and it's own right to check the executive branch
from harmful ventures. All of us are in serious trouble and if action
is not taken very soon we will have no options open to us.
I never thought i would say this but thank god for the NRA because
we are all going to need to arm ourselves to defend ourselves from
this junta gone insane! defend yourselves and your families!!

The Whitehouse Gives the DEA a HUGE Budget, and
they toss 90% of it into
Putting pot smokers behind bars.. that's Billions of dollars stopping
a drug
that is yet to kill someone... the only way people die from this drug
is
indirectly because they are keeping it in the Dealers hands.
So I find it ironic, they spend Billions on putting their Citizens
behind
jail for smoking Pot, and simple possession.. while they cant even
afford to
Keep the people of their country safe from Terror attacks, because
they dont
have enough budget. They have the budget to attack Iraq, and the
budget to
wrongly imprison their citizens..

What is behind the relentless drive to war
with Iraq – a country that has never attacked us, and represents
no military threat to U.S. territory or forces? . . . Don’t
let them tell you it’s all about oil. The price of oil will go down
once Saddam’s supply is unleashed on the open market. If oil is a
factor, it is a minor one: it is Israel, not oil, that energizes the
drive to war. And we are not just talking about war with Iraq, but a
regional war, one in which Iran, Syria, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia
will all be counted as our enemies. What the neocons – and the
dispensationalists – want (each for their own reasons) is what Norman
Podhoretz, a leading neocon, calls "World
War IV." World War III, you understand, was the cold
war.
What We Need Is Outrage
I have read Havel and I have read Orwell. I
have even read Marx! I live in San Francisco, have gone to
protests for at least twenty years. They accomplish
nothing. Indeed they may even be profoundly counter-productive
for they foster the illusion that something is being done which has significance
and potency politically.
Allow me to explain: merely by exercising one's freedom to protest one
is exculpating oneself from the outcomes in such a way as to be
protected psychologically for not having taken more drastic
action. Think of it as a form of safe political participation
that is a condom for the activist imagination. It is at the very best
a gesture of political theater since nothing alters the staus quo. By
this I mean that the massive Anti-war and Ant-racist protests of
the 60's have brought to us the doomsday we turned out in the streets
against. A racist and reactionary political system is still hell bent
on conquering the world using our bodies our brains and our labor.
Oratory is not the motivator of masses. A decided sense of
outrage is. Outrage would be
a national strike to stop the war, the refusal of millions to pay
their taxes, mass actions
that aimed at radically altering the kleptocratic electoral process.
SAYING NO TO POWER is in the end much more effective as civil
disobedience and not civilized protest. Yes, we must have our
heads bashed in my darlings, that is the price of freedom.

Living in Canada
all my life, I am not surprised at the actions the U.S. government is
taking to conquer the oil fields. There
is no question this "war" is about oil, its plain to see.
