>The US right has committed suicide with the War on
Iraq. It has taken a dose of fatal poison in an attempt to cure the
Saddam virus. <
Great summation. The logic of that sector of our
imperialist bourgeoisie Bush Jr. is seeking to lead, in my opinion, weighed
all the factors you speak of and still came up with the conclusion, that war
with Iraq was the key in politically realigning the world.
My own
mistake is the tendency to believe that these think tanks of the bourgeoisie
have carefully considered their actions. Bush Jr. is "single-handedly" drawing
the people of earth into political contention and awareness against his
administration and the social and economic policy essence of the USNA state.
Jr. has the American people debating social and economic policy in a
way that has never occurred in my lifetime. At the press conference of Bush
Jr. and Blair, Jr. sidestepped the question of using nuclear weapons in Iraq,
which of course defeats any logic to the line of "liberating the Iraqi People"
and this being a modern war for national liberation. Actually, this appears to
have been turned into a war for national salvation on the part of the working
and laboring, masses in Iraq.
The idea that these Christian soldiers
would be welcome by the people of Iraq, with flowers, cookies and cake - and
tea hour for the Brits, could only originate in the warped logic of
chauvinists. Welcoming the invader as "liberator" denies the last 500 years of
colonial bondage and exploitation.
Ms Condescending Right - or
rather Ms. C. Rice, is emerging as the most hated symbol of a human being in
African American history: right up their with Sambo. Ok. In the novel Uncle
Tom Cabin, Sambo was the slave who killed "Uncle Tom" for his refusal to whip
a female slave. Ms. Sambo!
>This war will end from its own
inevitable evolution, even without
anti-war demonstrations. And it
will not be a happy end. There is yet
no visible exit strategy. <
The exit strategy is that small light at the end of the tunnel where
the awful power of capital - privately owned socially necessary means of
production is overthrown. I have no clear framework for the speed in which
events are unfolding. Every Internet chat-line is debating the war with a
vocal anti-war section focused on the political and underlying economic
issues. The term "working class" is starting to be used and this was not the
case two months ago. Even what has been called the "right-wing" are saying, "I
think we need to get our boys out of there," and "why should we liberate
people who do not want to be liberated?"
The American ideology is
under assault by real time events and unraveling.
My tendency to over
think things gets me in trouble. After all did not Jr. have the Enron guys
writing his energy policy - on their way to jail?
