The Next World War. Courtesy of George Bush

I recently received an email that said that history will prove George W. Bush a wise and courageous man who deposed a wicked despot that needed to be removed in order to make the world a safer place. The email went on to condemn those of us who oppose Mr. Bush’s attack on Iraq, and our claim that it was a mistake at best and a self-serving act of a desperate president who attempted to make himself a hero after the 9/11 horror, at worst.

Well, I’ll be damned. We who are opposed to the Shrub’s illicit activities are not the ones who made up the lies, false intelligence and character assassinations that got us into war. Then when these lies were exposed, W. made up more crap to keep us there in Iraq. When a person has lied repeatedly and done so after being exposed again and again, why the hell would anyone believe anything he/she said? What is the matter with you bobble heads? What is it going to take to make you realize that this madman, idiot, megalomaniac, block head is going to lead us down the path to war, ill-equipped as we are to fight on another front. That fact alone, that we are not equipped to fight on another front, should be enough to tell you that it’s going to be fought with nuclear weapons. Our nuclear weapons and Pakistan’s and India’s and Israel’s, etc, etc, etc.

Paul Simon, of Simon and Garfunkel, said it best in his song The Boxer, ”a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest.” This has served the Bush administration well. His speech writers give Bush lofty sounding, patriotic rhetoric that people hear and accept on its face value. We become mindless Noids, duped by duplicity, dumbfounded by denouncements of didactic drama and devoured by disdain for the devils that attacked us. Instead of if it feels good, do it George has changed it to if it SOUNDS good, do it! A similar historical figure had this same affect on his people: Adolph Hitler. Before the poor German people knew what hit them, their children were goose stepping to patriotic German marches and exclaiming Heil Hitler at every opportunity. They also followed their mad hatter down some very dark holes, the worst of which was the attempted eradication of non conforming Germans, Gypsies and Jews. It too would have been much, much worse but no one had nuclear weapons until the ones the United States used to end the war.

It’s time to return to reality and evaluate what is going on. Lives are being lost, freedoms stolen and truth abrogated by lies. Come to, fellow citizens, throw off the blanket of trepidation that was shielding our eyes and minds from the happenings of that day on September 11, 2001 and realize that an equally evil monster is attacking us from within our government and with our government. He is slowly, systematically stripping us of our Constitution and Bill of Rights and replacing them with his self-serving doctrines and beliefs. Fight this mad man who, deluded by his thoughts that he was personally chosen by God to be president, and devoured by a need for power, is claiming our nation for his own personal playground where he gets to play at being the most powerful man in the world. It is not Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran, or Bashar Al-Assad of Syria or King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia but George W. Bush who poses the greatest threat of war beginning in the Middle East that could easily turn into WWIII. Listen and act before it’s too late. Yours, your children’s and grand children’s lives depend on it.

Write your Congressmen and women and tell them that we want our Constitution and Bill of Rights returned to their state before George W. Bush took the presidency in 2000. Stop the saber rattling and start talking, in earnest, with Iran, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Palestine and Israel. It isn’t going to happen overnight. It hasn’t happened in over 2000 years, but it is worth a try. At least try one more time. Give it our best shot and greatest effort. Then if peace is no closer then than it is today, push the buttons, send the missiles, detonate the nukes, kill us all, let God decide!
