Some time ago, long ago that it's not even listed, I wrote an article condemning the Busher for the Iraq but arguing that it would play into the hands of the terrorists if we left. When Bush attacked Iraq for heaven knows what reason, there were tapes of Osama bin Laden dancing the Hora with all this minions. Copies of those tapes are available for a modest fee. You can get them by contacting this writer.
It was like Old Osama had two fingers jammed up the Busher's nose and was dragging him wherever he wanted. He needed new bases to train white, Catholic, English girls who've turned to Islam to become suicide bombers...the Busher gave him most of Yugoslavia & Iraq. What a great president.
But, as they say, it takes a tough man to make a tender chickpea, so I too have finally, painfully, agonizingly come to the conclusion that there's nothing we can do in Iraq but help kill innocent Iraqis and mangle more U.S. troops.
The fact is that the Arabs are loonies. Why they are loonies is a fascinating sociological question I will not try to address in any detail. It's similar, however (oy, is this going to get me in trouble), to self-defeating behaviors we see in some African Americans and Native Americans. Expectations breeds behavior supporting those expectations. Treat Palestinians like 5th class citizens for 60 years or so & guess what, they'll act like fucking idiots, killing each other because it seems less dangerous that trying to kill Jews. (Note, that didn't start with the Israeli occupation. It started with Egypt taking Gaza & the butcher of Jordan taking the so-called West Bank & keeping Palestinians living like rats with no cheese for 30 years.
But what about Iraqi loonies? You can't create a country by jamming three warring tribes together, have them live under one of the worst dictators in history, and expect them to act normally. I simply cannot fathom Sunnis and Shias blowing up each other's children.
This war is no longer a war of liberation...whatever it started out to be. It's a civil (how quaint, "civil")... it's a totally uncivil war aided by the scum in Iran & Syria. It's not that we can't win, we can't even define win. You couldn't describe a political condition in what is now Iraq that stood a chance of working. And, hey, for the first time, it's not all our fault. Let 'em blame the Israelis & Americans for their mess. Sorry, Ahmed, you shit, you clean it up.
And we haven't even addressed the coming war in Northern Iraq between the Kurds (terrible name...they should rename their tribes...get a lot more respect...like "The Crips" or something) and just about everyone else.
So it is with sorrow, despair, anger, confusion, and fill in the blanks, that I've come to the conclusion that we should simply say: "Yo, Arab-type people. As long as you're going to kill each other, we're outa here. Like, what are you--dopes? We're not sending American soldiers into your country to break up battles between warring tribes. We gave you the chance for democracy--sort of--and you blew it. We tried to help you rebuild your nation--and you blew it up. O.k., we had no plans for winning the peace--but it's your country. What are you, without an idea in your collective heads?
"You can't teach a man to fish if he keeps hitting you over the head with the fucking fishing poll. So...we're out of here. If you come to your senses, we'd be glad to come back and help you rebuild your country...but frankly, we're not packing just yet to return."
