Axis of Evil? How about Axis of Assholes?

Paul O'Hanlon | 12.12.2005 16:15 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Social Struggles | World

This is a 450 word account of my strong (very strong) feelings about the criminal assholes who get away with so much mass murder in the world. When and How can they be brought to justice? 15 labeled photos are attached

















WHO ARE THE WORLD'S BIGGEST ASSHOLES?



Currently Saddam Hussein and Slobodan Milosevic are on trial for their crimes and while they were certainly no angels, many of their crimes were committed with the approval of and active support of Western powers especially the United States. In fact the West was so heavily implicated in Saddam's atrocities (including Halabja which the media did not discover for 15 years) that they had to invent a bogus story about Kuwaiti babies being thrown out of incubators by invading Iraqi troops to help sway American public opinion during the first gulf War.


George Bush talks about `Rogue States` and `Axis of Evil` and now discredited vice President Dick Cheney spoke of a list of 40 countries he wanted to attack.

Here is a list of a dozen or so assholes that should be in the dock along with Saddam and Slobodan – if there was any justice that is. Sadly, in the real world, the strong do as they will and the weak suffer as they must. Also, there is the wise old legal maxim: "Blessed are the rich for they shall escape justice"

The list includes Bush, Blair, Albright, Rice, Cheney, Pol Pot and various other great international statesmen – Dr Kissinger, recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize doesn't get a mention for once. He can write in and complain!

Can you imagine George Bush or Tony Blair in the Dock? Why not? Their crimes dwarf those of Saddam. An attempt has been made to impeach Tony Blair for his lies in the run up to war by Welsh MP Adam Price –  http://impeachblair.org/

War crimes tribunals were set up by former US Attorney General Ramsey Clark whose tribunal was held in New York last year:  http://peoplejudgebush.org/


The World Tribunal on Iraq was held in Istanbul this year:
 http://www.worldtribunal.org/main/?


The Rome Tribunal this year found the media criminally guilty of fanning the flames of war:  http://www.dahrjamailiraq.com/hard_news/archives/hard_news/000198.php


The media, arms manufacturers and politicians are all woven into the same fabric and love their wars in which they take no part but rake in huge profits while ordinary people die horrible deaths in their millions.

My advocacy is to stand up to some of these assholes who after all are chicken hawks, cowards, people who would run a mile rather than fight in any war. While I describe myself as a man of peace, after I saw a little Iraqi girl lose 9 (nine) members of her family and poor Rose Gentle's family being denied a pension for the loss of their beloved son Gordon, I get pretty angry. I don't agree with guns and bombs but I agree on some occasions with using your fists and why not head butt a few of these cunts and let then know what it's like to be hurt!

>I don't agree with guns and bombs but I agree on some occasions with using your fists and why not head butt a few of these cunts and let then know what it's like to be hurt!

Perhaps because being head-butted is a poor indicator of the suffering these Labour party monsters have wreaked on Iraq ?

I mean, is a single headbutting going to convey to them the feeling of hurt caused by napalm (sorry, MK77) ? I think not!
I would suggest 2 parts polystyrene melted in one part petrol, stirred in with as much benzene as you can. Apply liberally to any Labour party memeber that you can find, light from a safe distance and stand well back. And kids, don't try this at home without the supervison of a responsible adult, napalm can be dangerous.

Glad to see the suffering you have witnessed has finally made you lose your cool Paul - join the club - but as one wee old lady shouted out after hearing Tony Benn address a peace rally 'If you are so bloody righteous then why are you in the Nazi party ?'

Subtle, salient points, beautifully made.

legal advice

1) not all assholes are warmongers - Andrew Steve Shole

2) Dannys suggestion is illegal except during a power cut, when legal precedent suggests that any old excuse referring to illumination will probably do. However, greater legal safety is achieved when carried out by a fellow party member who can give the excuse of colleagual impotents

Illumination !

Okay, napalming Labour Party war-mongers may be illegal, you should check to see if you personally are a signatory to the third protocol of the UN's 1980 Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons (like the US, I'm not).

However, Sad al Walt is definitely correct about illumination, it is perfectly legal for any of us to drop burning phosphorus on them for illumination purposes. If the police try to question it, quote this guy :

"White phosphorus is a conventional weapon. It is not a chemical weapon, they are not outlawed or illegal." - Lieutenant-Colonel Barry Venable

why cant i see pictures?

emporor zurg


Not seeing pictures

13.12.2005 23:03

is most likely the security settings on your own internet browser.

tools/options/web features/Load Images for Mozilla Firefox (preferred) or
tools/internet options/advanced/Show Pictures for Internet Explorer

If this is indeed the problem then the best way to thank IM for allowing your technical query to a non-technical website to remain visible is to not say thank you or ask anymore off-topic technical questions but instead to ask some techie forum why you can't see pictures here. Of course I am a geek so your inability to see pictures may in fact be medical or I may have ruined your perfectly good joke by failing to understand it.
