Bush Challenges Opposition -- A Response!
Cleaves Editorial Team | 14.01.2007 06:18 | Anti-militarism | Other Press | Social Struggles | World
In his daily radio address, George W Bush challenged those who oppose his insane route to oblivion, to ‘put up or shut up’. “To oppose everything while proposing nothing is irresponsible," he said, “offer an alternative”. In view of the fact that U.S. Democrats are unable to effectively deal with the situation, we formally and directly accept this challenge and remind Bush that we are aware that this response will be read by him and his neo-cons; indeed, we have been aware for some time that Bush is a regular reader of this site as indeed is Rice and others. There is no avoiding this response!
The solution in Iraq is patently clear, the immediate arrest of the perpetrators of the illegal invasion would act as a powerful catalyst for Peace and reconciliation as forces serving JUSTICE would be seen by IRAQIS (and the world community) to have begun. The world’s Law makers and advocates would also welcome this move as it would indicate that militaristic forces, representing vested interests, would once again be subject to Law. Existing International Law is more than able to deal with the coalition and its support networks.
So-called security agencies and other organisations responsible for torture and illegal detention centres would also be held accountable for their flagrantly obvious crimes, as would those at the top of the chain of command -- Rumsfeld and other commanders included. Retrospectivity would be applied to the period of planning the Iraq misadventure. The heinous death toll in Iraq would be addressed with the view to apprehending the wider network of criminals involved in all illegal activities – this would include various factions operating in Iraq at the present time.
After the immediate arrest of Bush, Blair, Howard and their support networks, a neutral nation and venue (not the NATO controlled ICC) would be chosen to host these trials and proceedings. In this regard I would nominate New Zealand as probably the most neutral and suitable nation in the world today.
A truly universal solution would be on offer to remedy the criminal destruction in Iraq and the subsequent destabilising influence the American misadventure has had on other nations. The heads of State from ALL nations, or their representatives, would be invited to participate and agree on (by vote) a solution. That solution would then be jointly enforced by all the participating nations. Nothing less than a final settlement for Iraq AND THE MIDDLE EAST, would be acceptable – this region can only be stabilised if all nations and involved parties are involved in the decision-making process; all participants would be honour-bound to abide by the majority decision and no weight would be afforded to so-called superpowers -- we affirm that all men and women are equal!
The above should be viewed as quick response, nevertheless the above approach as it stands is far superior to anything the clearly biased and unnecessarily violent Bush administration has been able to achieve to date. Perhaps history will view the present challenge as the most intelligent act of George W Bush’s entire career!
We accept your challenge, Mr. Bush!
