More Crocodile Tears ( Re: January National Phone-In)

Question:

OK, lets say we don’t do this now.  Since the idiot that runs Iraq uses every weapon he gets his hands on…even against his own people….what will it take to make you want to rid the world of him?

How joyous that Bush has now commenced the liberation of Saddam’s "own people" in an act that will murder probably tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of these same people. The attrocities against the Kurds, as well as many others attrocities the nooz media haven’t found convenient enough to mention despite Saddam now being an Official Enemy (TM), had all been well documented and well-known for all those years the Reaga/Bush admin.’s sent weapons to Saddam. That is, Saddam who was then Official Goodguy (TM) in the Iran-Iraq war. As far as the Official Badguy (TM), these same administrations sent weapons, also, to the Ayatollah, thus fueling both sides of a conflict which took the lives of over a *million* lives, albeit, dark-skinned lives, not a major factor in the determination of U.S. foreign policy. But the propaganda system is well oiled. We are at a deja vu. The flag-waving pro-Panama-invasion crowd, too, were dumbfounded at how anyone could oppose an invasion to oust such a dicrator. Such a drug-running dictator who was not only supported but on the CIA payroll for many, many years, as he brutalized his countrymen, at a time he helped the CIA subvert Nicaragua and murder civilians there in order to "democratize" that country, so tha tit was not convenient to consider human rights in Panama. Nor is it convenient to do so today, as the devastation of the U.S. invasion isn’t worth the money, of course, to partially repair the lives of those left homeless, or worse, still today, in Panama. Nor is it convenient to look at human rights in Kuwiat, Saudi Arabia, or other Official Allies (TM), where murder and torture of political prisoners is epidemic, women are forbiden from driving cars (Saudi Arabia), and other features of U.S. style "democracy" abound. Nor is it convenient to look at El Salvador or Guatemala, or Honduras, those beneficiaries of the Good Superpower’s favours for many years, as the population is subjected to U.S. backed or -installed military regimes which engage in wha Amnesty International terms a "Death Squad Strategy" against their own population, the so-called "death squads" being run, AI says, by "regular army and police agents acting in uniform or plain clothes, under the orders of superior officers," to the tune of "tens of thousands," some 1% of the population, of murders, tortures, and "disappearandes" of "members of groups perceived to be in opposition to the government, or to represent a nucleus around whom such opposition could coalesce, including students, trade unionists, members of cooperatives, church workers and peasants." [Ref's updon rqst] Nor is Nicaragua’s state of much interest, now that "democracy" has been re-introduced there following a free election in which the population has been informed by Washington that economic strangulation and contra terrorism -which continued throughout the pre-election period, murdering several at voter registration booths- would continue unless the U.S.-approaved candidate was chosen, freely. As I mentioned in the previous article, this devastation wrecked by Washington amounted to some $17 billion in economic ruin or the tiny country, this figure being the sum judgement againt the Reagan administration by the World Court, as sum neither Congress nor the administration has any intention of paying, although a few crumbs will be tossed Chamorro’s way if she behaves as is proper towards one’s master, and understands the true relative importance of Washington’s agenda versus any attempts to recieve due compensation for the misery the former has subjected on her population. One can go on, but there are many other human-sacrifice rituals which the activist must rush to fight besides the Gulf war, so please forgive the abrupt ending. Harel Yo! Felow activists, stopping the war is important. But homelessness, the war against the poor and middle class, U.S.-sponsodred death squads, lack of national health care, fear and hate (all the -isms and -phobias), the decimation of planet Earth, these need our attention too…

Is it less "joyous" that Saddam has directly caused the death of tens of thousands? Or is it just that only American leaders can be "murderers", while the peace-loving Saddam is simply a mis-understood victim? The attrocities against the Kurds, as well as many others attrocities the nooz media haven’t found convenient enough to mention despite Saddam now being an Official Enemy (TM), had all been well documented and well-known for all those years the Reaga/Bush admin.’s sent weapons to Saddam.

Ok – I’m beginning to get a grip on this left-wing logic… lemmeknow if I got it right: 1. The Americans were wrong when they supported Saddam 2. The Americans were wrong when they didn’t support Saddam? 3. Saddam was always right, whether they supported him or not? am I getting the drift here? The flag-waving pro-Panama-invasion crowd, too, were dumbfounded at how anyone could oppose an invasion to oust such a dicrator. Such a drug-running dictator who was not only supported but on the CIA payroll for many, many years, as he brutalized his countrymen, at a time he helped the CIA subvert Nicaragua and murder civilians there in order to "democratize" that country, so tha tit was not convenient to consider human rights in Panama.

By golly, I _do_ think I’ve GOT it! The Americans were waaaaaay out of line, criminally wrong, when they supported Noriega, and they were equally wrong when they corrected their moral error and took him out. (Hey, this is EASY!) No matter WHAT the Americans do, they are ALWAYS wrong. Hot damn! I think I’ve finally got it! Nor is it convenient to look at human rights in Kuwiat, Saudi Arabia, or other Official Allies (TM), where murder and torture of political prisoners is epidemic, women are forbiden from driving cars (Saudi Arabia), and other features of U.S. style "democracy" abound.

Once my feeble grasp of political reality was strengthened, all of that became clear. Would it be okay if I blamed the rotten Yanks for all of Canada’s troubles, too, since Canada is most certainly on your list of international criminals, right there below the Yanks? You wouldn’t complain about Saudi driving laws if you’d seen my first wife’s driving, believe me :-) Yo! Felow activists, stopping the war is important. But homelessness, the war against the poor and middle class, U.S.-sponsodred death squads, lack of national health care, fear and hate (all the -isms and -phobias), the decimation of planet Earth, these need our attention too…

Let me guess! <this is fun The AMERICANS are the real power behind the PALESTINIAN terrorists, too, right? And the European terrorists so cleverly disguised as "left wing" to conceal their Yankee masters? How about the brave Philipine freedom fighters… I guess the Yanks put ‘em up to it, eh? And the CHINESE! Wow! All these years, the CHINESE have really been controlled by the nasty, war-mongering, pig-dog calpitalist Americans, right? I gotta hand it to them! That war in Korea fooled me completely! —     TB+: 604-753-9960  2400: 604-754-9964       | ..van-bc!oneb!kmcvay    |    FrontDoor 2.0/Maximus v1.02/Ufgate 1.03      | FidoNet 1:351/190.1     |              HST 14.4: 604-754-2928               | IMEx   89:681/1         |
