Bush Regime Intent On World War III
Oread Daily | 10.01.2003 21:23
Either Bush, Chaney, Rumsfield and Company are a bunch of idiots or they are intent on starting World War III. Most likely, they are, in fact, both. Since Bush seized power the US has unilaterally withdrawn or refused to be a part of any number of international agreements and treaties. These include those relating to global warming, an international court of justice, chemical and biological weapons, and anti-ballistic missile defense to name a few. At the same time the US has specifically labeled three countries as an Axis of Evil, undertaken preparations to invade one of them, and threatened the others. The Administration, without any qualms, declares it has proof of Iraq’s possession of weapons of mass destruction (which wouldn’t surprise me, by the way) but refuses to provide even a shred of such proof to anyone. The Bushies have declared a policy which includes the right of first strike, preemptive attack, regime change and the like. The Bushies have declared a World Wide War on Terror but never disclosed what that really means. It has undertaken actions to undermine and overthrow the democratically elected government of Venezuela, carry out a Vietnam style campaign in Colombia (where it, amongst other things, calmly provide the product for chemical warfare), and without a bit of proof accuses Cuba of manufacturing biological weapons. It has walked arm in arm with the reactionary Sharon group in Israel and turned its backs on human rights violations of any nation, such as Saudi Arabia, it decides it needs at the moment. It welcomes acts of brutal aggression such as those by Russia in Chechnya when it suits its "global strategy." It has managed to piss off even the most faithful of allies with its arrogance. It has undertaken measures at home to abridge freedom of speech, freedom of movement and has for all intents and purposes declared parts of the US Judicial System null and void. It has admitted without a bit of shame its abusive treatment of prisoners of war while giving the President pretty much free reign to decide who qualifies as such. It has terrorized the immigrant community and called anyone and everyone who disagrees with its policies unpatriotic and traitors. And then it has the gall to act shocked, dismayed, and indignant when certain countries, most recently, the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea (whose regime I have no qualms in describing as anything but "Democratic") react in kind. Folks, this Clique now running this country are marching the world toward the edge and smiling about it. What is to be done?
