TV SHOCKER DEMOLISHES CASE FOR WAR
WE WILL all remember where we were when we saw "Shock and Awe" start. And we will all remember how we felt: shocked and awful.
For those who are opposed to this war, it was hideous confirmation of our worst fears. And for those who support it, there must have been terrible misgivings about what they were witnessing. The bombardment was relentless, enormous, devastating. But what will have horrified Tony Blair is the fact that it was all captured on video - exposing the brutal reality of his political decision to back this unjustified war. Thus exposing the brutal reality of his political decision to back this unjustified war. The Prime Minister must surely realise how horrendous it looked to the watching world. This is his worst nightmare - people will not be in awe of what they saw, they will be utterly appalled. With their own eyes, beamed directly into their homes, they saw cities being destroyed, and knew that many innocent civilians were inevitably being hurt or killed. For those who already hate America and its allies, including Britain, it was just the kind of advert they've been waiting for to justify more outrages. Perversely, a war supposed to be about removing weapons of mass destruction became an onslaught against the alleged culprit deploying equally destructive firepower. In Washington, George Bush and his right-wing administration would have watched with pride and satisfaction at the "awesome" military display. In London, Tony Blair and his Cabinet must have watched in mounting desperation - knowing how damaging it would be to their argument that this war is designed to help the Iraqi people and peace in the Middle East. What we saw last night was the world's only superpower flexing its muscles in a way that will send shock-waves throughout the globe. Some will feel cowed by the pictures. Many will have felt sad. Many more angry and resentful. And others will simply resolve to exact terrible revenge. How many more terrorists were created last night? In our name, by a Prime Minister acting without the support of his people or the United Nations? |
| Iraq could have not been able to pose a threat to its neighbours and to world peace in the next 20 years, a CIA report stated. Yet, Bush had to wage death and destruction upon the people of Iraq. This proves that it was not about disarmament, but about ruling the world. |
America and Israel (USrael) are economically emptied, indeed bankrupt. America's trade deficit alone reached $435.700.000.000 in 2002 and will lead to a total financial crash in a foreseeable time. Yet, America "spends far more on defence than the bigger countries in Europe." --The Independent, London, March 9, 2003, p. 10. Israel only exists because of America's and Germany's financial infusions. Both, America and Germany, are milked dry, therefore Israel's end is looming on the horizon. The budget deficits of USrael cannot be met by generated income. Thus, a collapse of USrael is as inevitable as the collapse of the Soviet Union was. By securing the remaining natural resources of the world, USrael believes it could generate sufficient tribute from the rest of the world to maintain its military power. Thus, securing not only its existence but also world domination.
The live TV footage of the bombardment of Baghdad last night was
sickening to watch and to hear.
