the Wicked Witch of the East is Dead a Kasa fell on his Head

we are many. | 16.03.2004 14:58 | Anti-militarism | World


By the end of the month of June, which is for Irish readers notable as
it marks the end of the Irish Presidency of the European Union,
if the United Nations the agreed, legal and proper institution of
international arbitration is not completely charged with the task of
Iraqi reconstruction the Spanish Armed Forces will leave that country
and that people.
I repeat :-

Without the UN the war on terror may not be prosecuted, this is
something I and my peers in the international community have
consistently written, said, shouted and proclaimed.

I repeat:-

No UN - No troops in Iraq.

I repeat:-

The wicked witch of the East is Dead.

************************************************

This is newsworthy for several reasons. It is a clear sign that the
wicked witch of the West is still over there. But we must no longer be
swayed in our resolute belief in the proper institutions of
international co-operation, conflict resolution and arbitration. We must
never again, be turned on the product of our collective history, the
fruit of our collective past, the institutions we created and formed and
have thoughtfully paid all our dues to.

*************************************************

¿How did this come about?

Well, there was a big storm almost like a twister, a little girl and a
little dog called Toto.
There was a Scarecrow who found his courage, there was Tinman who found
his heart, there was a Lion who remembered his brains. And faith and
truth and wisdom. And certain mythical powers ascribed to a perfectly
ordinary man in exile. and those shoes which were made for walking.
and walking they did go.
with TOTO.

*************************************************

¿does this mean Peace in our Time?

Well, no not exactly, we are still targetted by enemies, and we are
still greedy, exploitative, unwise and harsh in our dealings with the
world and our neighbours, but we have learnt that neither appeasement
nor offence will protect us. We have started the return to the balance
established between civilised nations which the founding mammies and
daddies of our little constitutions really really wanted.

*************************************************

¿will this effect my social security entitlement?

Well we as of yet can not say, but a small indication from Spain and
Catalonia was the reduced vote 95,000 for the parties of the right and
the increased vote 200,000 for the tripartitie candidates. The
application of simple mathematics (math in american english) means 105,000
people voted who normally _do not vote_. If these people are on the
dole, they ought be remembered, if these people make your TV you maybe
should watch it, if these people write books, you really ought to make a
mental note to buy a copy sometime. If these people use their walking
shoes and go out with TOTO again, you pay attention to them.

*************************************************
Meanwhile Life goes on as usual.

LIFE goes on as usual.

By the end of the month of June, (which is for Irish readers notable as
it marks the end of the Irish Presidency of the European Union, and for British readers notable as it shall co-incide with Blair's summit with the Wicked Witch of the West)
if the United Nations the agreed, legal and proper institution of
international arbitration is not completely charged with the task of
Iraqi reconstruction the Spanish Armed Forces will leave that country
and that people.

I repeat :-

Without the UN the war on terror may not be prosecuted, this is
something I and my peers (*you*) in the international community have
consistently written, said, shouted and proclaimed.

I repeat:-

No UN - No troops in Iraq.

*************************************************

¿How did this come about?


Certainly The Guardian concurred that the mobilisation of the grass root networks in Spain on the eve of the election "swung the vote". And it was quite simple, the mass were in grief and anger and we reminded them with the sound of banging pots and pans in their streets of the fear we had warned them of.

or the nursery tale version:-
Well, there was a big storm almost like a twister, a little girl and a
little dog called Toto.
There was a Scarecrow who found his courage, there was Tinman who found
his heart, there was a Lion who remembered his brains. And faith and
truth and wisdom. And certain mythical powers ascribed to a perfectly
ordinary man in exile. and those shoes which were made for walking.
and walking they did go. ¿Oh did I forget the good witches of the south and north?
with TOTO. You may be anyone of these characters. you know how to be.

¿will this effect my social security entitlement?

Well we as of yet can not say, but a small indication from Spain and
Catalonia in the city of Barcelona was the reduced vote 95,000 for the parties of the right and the increased vote 200,000 for the tripartitie candidates. (the coalition of PSOE, Catalan republicans and greens). The application of simple mathematics (math in american english) means 105,000 people voted who normally _do not vote_. If these people are on the dole, they ought be remembered, if these people make your TV you maybe
should watch it, if these people write books, you really ought to make a

British People in united kollectives are very literate.
Mr Blair as you know is not the wicked witch of the East.
He is another nursery tale character, and we will treat upon his future differently.
