 Nations are always more, than those who
say they lead them are: yet the populations of each nation is frequently
held hostage by figureheads that have seized control, over what turns out
to be millions: Millions that may violently disagree with the policies
of their self-absorbed governments. This is one of the major changes that
contributes to the flames that now engulf "The "NEW" Middle
East." Fake "leaders" always say they come to bring Victory
over whatever threatens us-and yet all we have when they are done-is more
death, far more destruction and a set-back for humanity that is measured
in hundreds of years. The relationship between Victory and Defeat needs
to be reexamined, if the world is going to come away from this trip to
the edge of oblivion, before it's too late.
-
- Armed force has always been a factor in the reputation
of any nation, but so is moral authority and the integrity of all those
that attempt to lead any nation. When the Bush Cabal took the White House
the United States embarked on a course that set the USA against the world.
After 911, what began as a belligerent and arrogant posture turned into
a global campaign of hatred and terror-by any means necessary! The policy
was outlined in the Bush Doctrine of 2002, but it was just words-on-paper,
until the lies therein began to be exposed.
-
- The LIE of 911 is still being used as the primary justification
for the continuing crimes that came after that! Afghanistan was the first
stop. Now we know that Afghanistan had nothing whatever to do with "Defeating
Terror" and everything to do with pipelines. 911 was just the excuse
that enabled the USA PATRIOT Act and the presidential order to spy on all
Americans-secretly! This is quite possibly the reason why 'finding and
killing Osama' was never a priority, and yet our troops are still dying
in Afghanistan as well as in Iraq.
-
- In Iraq ten thousand people have died in the last six
months, and this continues at the rate of a hundred more each day. There
is no way that any part of our invasion of that country can be counted
as anything but a major disaster: yet Bush & his thugs still REFUSE
to alter course, regardless of the facts on the ground or the number of
Americans that his 'policies' have put directly "In Harm's Way."
-
- The Middle East is a regional problem. It cannot be split
up into fiefdoms that can be treated separately from other nations in that
region yet that is exactly how US policy was designed. It is as if
whatever happens in any one country will not spill over into other nations-which
is totally false. Before we attacked Iraq, the threat that the world faced
from those who resisted our aggressions was small. Supposedly we went into
Iraq to eradicate whatever threat there might have been to the United
States-even though there was none at the time. What Cheney-Bush & Rumsfeld
succeeded in doing, was to thoroughly destroy a key element of life in
the Middle-East along with an 8,000 year old human-history-of-the-world
that Iraq held in its museums for the rest of us. In addition, our battalions
of crusaders have since managed to create the kind of fear and hatred that
can only be excised by the hundreds of years it will take, to wipe away
the stain of our crimes against the people of Iraq. In fact in every area
of that war we have only succeeded in losing ground to those we came to
kill: while we have united all who are opposed to US policies everywhere!
Perhaps this is why Victory has turned her back on everything that can
be seen today, as an American adventure.
-
- There is nothing that the Bush administration can
point to, in any area of the world today that is not worse now, than before
we laid hands or weapons on those most directly affected by our policies.
From those Americans who endured Katrina, to every nation that we have
coerced into our "Coalitions of the Willing' the same tales
of corruption, of theft, of unnecessary death, of disfigurement, and of
permanent and painful displacement have followed wherever the secrecy
of the Bush Dynasty has chosen to go.
-
- The United Nations is once-again being used, just as
it was in the run-up to Iraq-this time as a buffer for justifying a Middle-East
policy that is monstrous on its face. The game began back in May of 2000
when the Israeli government began planning this operation in detail. (1)
This had nothing whatever to do with the taking of the two Israeli hostages
that were supposedly the reason for the rape and near obliteration of the
entire nation of Lebanon. At that time, the scale of the resistance that
Hezbollah might have mounted was not considered to be anything like what
the Zionist state has now encountered. It's been more than three weeks
and the rockets are still pouring into northern Israel-what happened to
all those American Patriot missiles that were supposed to shoot them down?
Israel has declared Victory, even as the rockets continue to fall and Israeli's
continue to die. Yet despite the fact that the entire world was demanding
an immediate Cease-Fire by the end of the second week Israel
and the US adamantly refused all entreaties. This snubbing of the world
(and the UN) is possible because the US blocked all calls for a halt to
the fighting. (Israel needed to be allowed to finish destroying Lebanon)
before anything as extreme as an immediate Cease-Fire could be allowed
to be called for.
-
- The world watched while the United States went through
such convoluted excuses that it made Americans cringe to think that we
could have stooped that low just to appease our out-of-control but
sometime Masters in the region. This situation continued until Lebanon
became a completely unviable place, without roads or fuel, without bridges,
without communications, food or resources and then Rice stepped forward
to announce something right out of 'Condi-in-Wonderland.' She told the
world this morning that Syria and Iran shall have no say in this matter,
and we shall not talk to them, furthermore it has been decided by She &
Bush and the French that Hezbollah must agree to stop firing missiles,
and agree to be disarmed. Israel for its part needs to be protected from
Hezbollah, but can be allowed to stay inside Lebanon, with a UN force to
protect Israel from Hezbollah: Does that sound like a victorious nation
that has just "completely vanquished" their decades old enemy?
-
 So the UN proposal that Condi
drew up, with French assistance, was Dead-On-Arrival because Hezbollah
will not disarm, and will not stop fighting until Israel withdraws its
troops from all of Lebanon. And Israel is opposed to the Cease-Fire proposal
because they will not stop fighting until the hostages are returned and
Hezbollah has been disarmed. Rice is saying that reality doesn't matter,
all that matters is what Bush & Olmert have decided "must happen,"
and in that process neither Syria, nor Iran nor Hezbollah can be invited
to discuss anything. Without diplomacy, nothing can be accomplished: and
for diplomacy to work, conversations must take place. Yet neither of these
stepping stones will be needed because there is no leadership anywhere
in this death-watch, over what used to be the life that the world knew
as Lebanon.
-
- How much longer will the world continue to wait upon
the arrogant dictates of the one country in the world that has ignored
all UN resolutions except for the one that ostensibly created that tiny
state! The pre-history of Israel holds clues as to why this attitude has
become their standard of behavior. (2) This is of particular importance
since Olmert's Israel is citing UN Resolution 1559 that long ago demanded
the disarming of Hezbollah. Israel has not defeated Hezbollah, and no other
nation wants to place their troops into Lebanon to accomplish what no one
to this point has been able to do namely to disarm those who are
fighting in the name of Hezbollah. Reality must be served especially inside
war zones
-
- Doublespeak will not work here. The nation of Lebanon
has been thoroughly destroyed again, by Israel and there must be
consequences for this criminal invasion and for the deaths of so many innocent
people. The lives of two Israeli soldiers is not worth the price extracted
for this war that was planned back in May of 2000. Just as the continuing
war and brutalization of the Palestinians is not justified by the capture
of one Israeli soldier. The disproportionality in these two wars, upon
mostly civilian populations, flies in the face of decent people everywhere
and all of the norms of civilized behavior!
-
- What Defeat and Victory have in common is that neither
has a face. Victory, because if she is captured in war then she cannot
last: Defeat has no face, because no one will claim what's left of that
effort. So each outcome will bring scars that will last until the warring
parties find a way to compromise to that place where neither of these
grim symbols are needed; for all factions to begin to live in a world that
values justice, and peace, and the bounty of life on all sides.
