Bush links Hezbollah to Ali-Q

I haven't been in the Cellar for a while.....I just thought I'd catch up a little on the latest aguments raging in here...... God the American Administration is depressing though aint it? I mean.....I've seen more thought out villains in a Superman comic than the ones portrayed in the War on Terror. But hey...why bother looking in depth and forming an intelligent analysis when you can paint the world in white hats and black hats and just get on with the fun stuff?

We've stepped through the looking glass, right is wrong and wrong is right and the villains are running the show. We step up our actions and treat the whole of Islam as an enemy then point fingers when they 'aid and abett' each other in the fight. Wouldn't we help each other when attacked? Didn't we help each other when attacked? Do we provide each other with military equipment and assistance when needed? Does this relationship of mutual aid and assistance permeate the whole of the 'civilised' world?

The only difference between us assisting each other in this war and them assisting each other in this war is that we can hang ours on the Governmental hook. Countries in the Middle East who assist the likes of Palestine....well, I don't see the difference between that and the UK tramping into Belgium or France to help defend against Germany.

We have created and are continuing to create a universal enemy. Yey, aren't we clever?

We found something we're good at, why not stick with it?

Welcome to mid and late 1960s Vietnam. It will get much worse and more depressing because all the same arguments are being spun with different words.

Domino Theory or 'we must attack then in Iraq so that don't come after us here'. Same myths. Same conclusions based in a 'big dic' attitude. Even violating basic Military Science principles to justify a political agenda. Thirty years later: things tend to repeat only because a new generation does not learn why a 'big dic' attitude only makes things worse. The new generation always thinks a bigger kid with a bigger stick will always make things better. The new generation is so untempered by reality as to still think in terms of what they were taught in nursery rhymes : 'good verses evil'.

The world is chock for of conflicting and justified perspectives. An adult child becomes an adult adult when he learns about perspective and discovers the lie about ‘good verses evil’. Deja Vue Vietnam. Therefore we know from history that it will get more depressing. We even know that we will elect a president after George Jr who makes things even worse - because the 'big dic' attitude subverts intelligent thought and promoted childhood 'good verses evil' myths.
