"For the sake of the security of this country and for the sake
of peace in this world, the United States must maintain every
advantage in weaponry and technology and intelligence. Our edge in
warfare comes, in part, because of the American spirit of enterprise
-- great companies such as Boeing, great workers such as yourselves"--U.S.
President George Bush Jr.
"The fact that the inspectors have not yet come up with new
evidence of Iraq's WMD [weapons of mass destruction] program could
be evidence in and of itself of Iraq's noncooperation"--U.S.
Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld
I have been saying for sometime that democracy cannot be
exported, and that democracy is a dynamic vision for the freedom of
expression so that we can become more intelligent. As such,
democracy is not the Free Market of the American dollar as preached
by the neo-uber-alles of the Project for the New America Century
and, in a lesser degree, democracy is not the Free Market of the
European Euro either.
Anyhow, the present Free Market and wars are coexistent as long
as the American economy is driven by the American military
industrial complex.
I just listened to a few minutes of President Bush's speech to
Boeing's workers and my stomach began to turn over as President Bush
thanked the blessing of American precision-guided weaponry for the
quick American victory over Iraq.
This president is a devil as he put high technologies over
people, and as he may be using his precision-guided missiles to
decapitate political regimes all over the world.
Now that Iraq has been conquered and that weapons of mass
destruction have not been found, Syria has been put on notice as
Bush&Co. are accusing Syria of concealing weapons of mass
destruction.
I ask, what about American weapons of mass destruction? Since we
are dealing with the Middle East, I ask again, what about Israeli
weapons of mass destruction?
An aspect of democracy is to be less and less hypocritical, and
therefore Bush&Co. cannot export democracy to either Iraq or to any
other part of the world as Bush&Co. are becoming more and more
hypocritical themselves. That is why the only way Bush&Co. can
export democracy is by the use of their precision-guided weaponry.
Economist Paul Krugman debunks the republican compassionate
conservatism stating that
"as the war began, members of the House of Representatives
gave speech after speech praising our soldiers, and passed a
resolution declaring their support for the troops. Then they
voted to slash veterans' benefits."
And dealing again with American hypocrisy, a news release of the
Bermuda Project states that
"at a time of soaring budget deficits, proposed cuts in
veterans' benefits, and with the war in Iraq costing $75 billion and
counting, corporations such as Halliburton, Tyco and Accenture,
along with wealthy individuals, are costing the nation over $70
billion a year through offshore tax dodges."
Before we can talk about democracy we must understand hypocrisy,
and President Bush has no idea of what democracy is as he and his
neo-uber-alles friends are a bunch ('un fascio' in Italian) of
hypocrites.
