Bush's idea of 'World Peace'

→ by Danieru
AAAARRRRRGGGGH!!

'"I think about Iraq every day. Every single day, because I understand we have kids in harm's way," the president said at a White House news conference. "We will complete the mission and the world will be better off for it."...
"We will complete this mission for the sake of world peace," the president said.'
The incorruptible belief I have that the entire Human race is completely insane grows baby stealing tentacles and a vigorously unhygienic Hitler moustache with these words. I can hear his smarmy, self-assured-Christian tone in every slime invested syllable. World Peace will never become reality as long as lunatics are left to run amok in the corridors of power.

This news comes hot on the heels of a comment by ex-President Clinton, who states that Guantanamo should be "closed down or cleaned up". A phrase, I suspect, that many politicians elsewhere on Earth would equally apply to America's current government.

Thanks Meat Eating Leftist!

Assuredly, many American citizens also want cleanup, the sooner the better.

Yeah, I can't see how liberating 70 million people (the combined populations of Iraq and Afghanistan) from brutal dictatorships could possibly advance the cause of world peace at all!

What the fuck did Clinton do for world peace?

I can't stand GWB's bullshit rhetoric but jesus, at least he's doing SOMETHING.

yeah, we can debate til the cows come home what exactly 'liberation' is. If you truly think that Bush went to War in the first place to progress world peace you've got an infinite amount more faith than I.

When Bush steps and aids all world wide war situations, without imposing American brand 'liberation' techniques, then and only then will i back his unprogressive, agressive previous attempt

Who cares what you think the "intentions" are. Look at the results. Are you saying the US isn't trying to make democracy work in Iraq, by hook or by crook?

I don't know about you, but I'll take 1 man with so-so intentions doing good over 1000 men with pristine intentions doing nothing .. or, even worse, lazily criticising that one who happens to be at least trying.

And I don't get your second paragraph at all. Are you saying you *want* GWB to "solve" all the world's problems? Rush into every war and win it for "the good guys"? I don't think you want that at all, you're just being facetious, and it's facetious little witticisms that are the only input the left has into the serious debate these days.

They had to start somewhere. Afghanistan and Iraq were the low-hanging fruit. If they had gone well, maybe DPRK and a few other nasty little shitholes would have been next. I don't think they'll do it now, though, considering the ludicrous global idiotarian condemnation of the iraq adventure.

Anyway, I usually enjoy your blog, but if you want to keep your non-stupid readers, might want to put a lid on the bog-standard high-school rebellion against things you obviously have no grasp of.

i don't like the imposing of 'democracy' full stop. its a contradiction in terms. i was impressed by the turn out of iraqi voters, even with the danger they faced queueing to vote they still turned out in their droves, a sure sign of a consciounce towards change.

yeah, my previous comment wasn't particularly well thought out, but then, i don't really believe the bush administration's attack on iraq was well thought out either.

what annoys me the most is not just the actions of the US, but the way they are portrayed and obviously manipulated by senior members of the administration. just because the 'liberation' of iraq has freed a majority of its people from painful rule does not justify the pain of the war in the first place. the problem with western politics is that it never looks very far ahead. it was the US and the UK afterall who helped Sadam shoe horn his way into power in the first place. it was the west afterall who paid and equipped the Taliban to scrape the Russians/Commie-bastards out of their country. those actions, deliberately calculated for maximum benifit at the time, possibly for some ideal of peace, were to backfire later.

the attack on Iraq for me was another one of these actions. calculated for American gain in the majority, and so more or less not thought out to its full consequence. the breeding ground for terrorism Iraq has now become will be a shadow in the path of 'world peace' for some time to come. maybe Bush should mention that and prevent his idealistic, black and white portrayal of events from causing more mistakes in the future
