Crippled
In a few days I will enter the medical center at UCLA, so that my surgeon can repair a tendon torn in four places by a lifetime of stress. I will not be able to walk for at least five months. I am not looking forward to this.
I, of course, am now forced to think about crippled minds and you know where that will take me. It seems that George Bush doesn't like the man elected in his democratic election in Iraq. While the concept of democracy in Iraq is itself the thinking of a jackass, he sems now to have lost his mind completely by decrying the results of the elections.
Perhaps he thinks the elections were rigged, since they were guided by Republicans. Of course, the Iraqis had only voting machines to rig. They do not have a Supreme Court to uphold their clear deceptions.
I give Al Gore a lot of credit. He slipped out of public life quietly, when he witnessed the death of democracy. He knew all was lost. Why make a fool of himself as John Kerry has? I believe that screwball envisions himself as a viable candidate for the presidency. One more jackass.
I opened up tonight for one reason only. The obvious. The immutable. The most important point to be made of our presence in Iraq. I am probably mistaken in thinking that no one makes this point - at least not every day as it should be made - but it is so simple and I do not hear it. For 5,000 years (jump in here to correct me, archeologists) the part of the world that is now Iraq has known two forms of government. And only two. Autocrcracy and Theocracy. Rule by one man (this is the land of Muhammad) or by religion (ditto).
Enter George Bush. The reformed drunk who has lost more brain cells than he could afford is going to bring democracy to Iraq and to the world. The hubris of his thinking and actions is beneath contempt. With one stroke he felt he could change 5,000 years of history.
I always knew that the second we leave Iraq there would be Civil War - to create an autocracy or a theocracy. I must admit I was surprised that civil war erupted right in front of our faces. Bush, however, sees this only as a blip on his screen toward democracy.
So we have a president who killed a few centuries of democracy in this country, thinks he can change 5,000 years of history in Iraq, and is simply killing Americans and Iraqis each day in his mad belief and deception.
If there were any justice he would be held up for war crimes.
Finally, I'll take this opportunity to mention that the president's rant that Congress gave him the OK to go to war is a lie, pure and simple. Congress told him that, if it became necesaary to attack Iraq, it would provide the money in order to protect American interests and American lives. Skip one beat. George Bush attacks Iraq, saying that Congress - even Democrats - have voted to go to war. How long will you allow him this lie?
Today the president announced a new Chief of Staff. Oh, for God's sake!
I'm going to leave - put on your coats - with an unrelated thought. Quelle Suprise! (Correct my French, if necessary. I am not above being made the fool.) The immigration law coming out of Congress now must include that anyone who employs an illegal alien - don't you dare use the word immigrant - automatically goes to jail for two years. No public sevice, no early parole - two years. I suggest that you Beverly Hills matrons phone your hairdresser on his new phone cell right away.
