What May Be?

Whilst American driven by near total economic collapse and the fiascos of one company imploding after another the drive to war continues unabated even after nothing is found in Iraq by the so-called weapons
inspectors.

The crisis of American capitalism is so great that it is now the worlds debtor nation and it sufferes a deficit every day equivalent to $1.5 billion. In order to reverse the falling fortunes which are leading to a run on the dollar and the creditworthines of leading finanacial institutions it has set itself on the path of re-ordering
the world with the first stop being the Arab world. But its stumbling block is the fact that its moral crusade has no basis in anything other than the super-rich of the US and their corporations.

Blair having long ago abandoned any pretense to anything other than the Monica Lewinsky of world politics has no problem sending people to
die in the concrete jungles of Baghdad. A new 9/11 this time directed once more by Hollywood is again on the cards to pin the blame on Saddam and Bin Laden and their supposed connection. When fabrication
becomes reality war becomes an inescapable outcome.

The cowboys, their allies and the hired whores who call themselves politicians are on the march to war. Resistance in the concrete jungles of Baghdad will stop them.

Fair enough, if you mean you hope any such sacrifice wouldn't be in vain. But the human cost of such resistance will be astronomical, and let's not blame the Iraqi population if they fail to take up your call to arms. Would you do it?

They told us that they won in Afghanistan.
So did the Russians two decades earlier.
Now they are running an occupation and getting shot at every so often. On past performance if occupation leads to stability, democracy and well being this may have happened not in the era of Empires but in Alice in Wonderland. But then again that is why you are in the Labour Party hey Cook?

We live in the best economy Britain has ever seen or heard or felt. Soon that show will be coming to Baghdad...

Cross-purposes?

I'm not quite sure what you're going on about, but I forgive you because I realise you've mistaken me for someone else. As if the Leader of the House reads Indymedia!

My point is merely that it is obscene to come out with the kind of crap the previous correspondent spouts. If the population of Baghdad's 'concrete jungles' decline to make a sacrifice for the sake of international anarchy or what have you, fair enough, as far as I'm concerned. Resistance in the workplaces of the west strikes me as being equally important, if not decisive, in ending this barbarism, and if we cannot organise that, it is appalling to call on a nation who have suffered endlessly to commit suicide for the sake of our radical daydreams. All too similar to the romantic views of sixties radicals on the revolutionary potential of the third world, and the current fetishisation of various Palestinian resistance groups.

Do either of you have ANY IDEA what urban warfare is like, and returning to my original point, would you volunteer for it?
