Afghanistan condoned, Iraq followed
Ozymandias | 31.01.2004 00:21 | Anti-militarism
Bush & Co. noted that Americans and the world accepted the invasion of Afghanistan, the toppling of the government, and a subsequent puppet regime propped up by the US military. As any naughty child knows, if you get away with something once and it feels good, you do it again. So Bush & Co., greedy eyes (inter alia) on Iraqi oil, said America was again under attack (this time not quite yet, but imminently.) They assured us that war was a last resort, but chased out the UN weapons inspectors before they'd finished, dismissed Iraqi denials of WMD out of hand, and assembled an attack force of such size and expense that it clearly wasn't going to go home empty handed. Like a timid customer being hustled by a shady dealer to buy a wreck of a used car, few politicians had the confidence or the balls to stand up and demand, "Stop ! We need reason and solid evidence here, not just rhetoric, before you go smashing your way into yet another country."
Afghanistan set the precedent for the acceptance of bad behavior, Iraq is the result. Both as regards wars and laws, the dark side of governments has been set loose to act on the presumption of guilt without evidence being required. It only takes a few moments thought to realize the awful implications and potential ramifications of this throughout human societies, and news from around the world shows it is playing out and spreading like a cancer. The truly civilized must reassert the standards of sanity over those world leaders who have lost sight of the concepts of justice and integrity.

911 was deliberate...they needed a pearl harbor

The afghanistan bombing was the dry run...the
signal to the world
apparently Usama was in a cave nearby
...and 911 was still heating the US revenge fantasy...
The powers that be saw the world sympathise and
saw it as a green light...
that is why Bush kept linking 911 to Saddam
for the next step
in the light of geo-strategic interests
such as the BP consortiums grab on
caspian basins oil reserves,
The arrest of oil tycoon Khordokovsky in Russia...
[he and Bereznovsky knew about the FSB's deliberate bombing of moscow
tower blocks to get into chechyna]
The 'revolution' [ahem CIA] in Georgia...
Bushes tinkering with Azerbajhan...
[sending in Powell-as usual]
and Putins new found friendship with Saudi...
one might well have expected more of a fuss made...
way way back then...when DU was dropped on children,
and herdsman were kidnapped strapped up in planes
and flown to guantanamo...
I know I wasn't happy about it...!
maybe it is a sign of a conspiracy among the G8 and others?
and the whole UN debacle during the run up to the Iraq war
was an exercise in shaden-fraud...while secret deals are done,
the merceneries are hired and yet another illusion is set in motion...
it is all going to happen again...
watch for the signs...

"One thing is for certain - one thing we do know from Mr Kay's testimony, as well as from the years of intelligence that we had gathered, is that Saddam Hussein was a danger. He was a growing danger.
"And given the circumstances of September the 11th, this country went to the United Nations and said, "Saddam Hussein's a danger, let us work together to get him to disarm."
