We are beginning the fifth year of
unfinished business, under an infantile and dangerous leadership that in all
this time has finished nothing they proposed. Policies defined and promises
broken; budgets outlined and costs exceeded; Rhetoric by the square mile that
has morphed into nothing but useless and distracting trash. Bush, our Neroesque
leader never tires of "moving on" without ever looking back at the
absolute carnage in his wake.
Now he's doing Europe one more time and
crowing about victories and democracy, freedom and peace, back inside those
bloody footprints that were once Afghanistan and Iraq. As projects, neither of
these war-torn places is even close to completion, yet Bush presents these open
graves as accomplishments that are now in the past. Hundreds of thousands dead,
three hundred billion dollars worth of munitions and blood, treaties and
international cooperation ruined, cultures destroyed, millions of peoples lives
forever changed - and in the plus column - Bush has a just a couple of rigged
elections, one here and one there to show for all that wasted treasure. Oh, and
he's just approved an attack upon Iran set for June of 2005!

Is our fearless leader fazed? No, he's
still doing his impersonation of the Terminator for the entire world. Part of
his problem is that he basically blew the attack on Iraq, by demonstrating his
determination to remain unilateral. Now he's discovered that we can't pay for
that arrogant stunt, without European help. The charade he's using this time to
encourage the EU to join him, is that since Afghanistan and Iraq are behind us
now the next challenge we all face is Peace in the Middle East! To do this he is
proposing that Europe side with Israel and the US to shut down the nuclear
threat that he perceives as present and impending in Iran (hence the need for
this new aggression).
However, Bush still has to address the
lack of US troops that he'll need for those pending attacks upon Iran and
others, so he's currently trying to jawbone the Japanese into defending
themselves so that we can reassign those 50,000 troops to whatever war they
might be needed in - come June.

Whether or not he can obtain help with
his new Empirical aggression in Iran, he still has to convince the world of our
sudden interest in ending the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. This
"idea" still lacks the necessary credibility, since for the previous
four years he has shown nothing but contempt for Palestine and its people.
If Bush and Sharon are serious about
having peace in that region, then the answer is simple. Bush needs to take a
page from his mentor Ronald Reagan (the great communicator). Bush must go to
Jerusalem, and meet Sharon there, at the wall. Then before the cameras of the
assembled members of the press, he must proclaim:
"Mr. Sharon, TEAR DOWN THIS
WALL!"
The destruction of that wall would lead
directly to the beginnings of the international peace he says he wants to
achieve - nothing less will do - yet because these two are who they have been,
neither the likelihood of this event nor even the possibility seems real. But if
Bush is one-fiftieth the man he thinks he is then he would do this!
The number five is the number of
change. And, as this is Year Five of All the Great Lies, isn't it time that the
public finally begin to demand some results from our Neroesque leader, BEFORE he
finishes his destructions not of Rome, but of the planet?
His record at home is beyond compare as
he has set a new world's record for the national debt that we now owe. His
policies on energy, health, education, and the environment are abysmal and
falling ever deeper, at light speed. His attempted murder of Social Security is
now being challenged; but the far larger crime of what he is allowing Medicare
to do to the future of millions of people has yet to even be challenged. And
through it all he has striven to cover up the truth about the losses we've
already suffered in his first two wars.

The good news is that the traditional
media (the press) is beginning to awaken to just how far behind they have been,
in covering the critical particulars of this continuing collapse.

"Change", Bush says, "is
something most people resist." But this should be the year of the kinds of
changes that most people would cheer! The end of the problem between Israel and
Palestine, the end of the Dreams of Empire that a bunch of low-life thugs tried
to foist upon the world - all of it could be accomplished with just a little
more spine by a lot more people who are willing to educate themselves and their
friends, about nine-eleven and what's really happening now in this troubled
world, because of the dark madness that happened, on that beautiful September
morning in 2001.
Beyond that there is a collective debt
to pay, beyond the money that we owe. That debt is to those who shall come after
us. They'll need a world to live in that has not been poisoned or destroyed, a
planet that is able to naturally sustain itself and the life that lives upon it.
Future generations should also have a world that can once again place their
belief in individuals and in personal reputations, in a world where there are
laws and consequences for the actions of everyone. That would be a place where
no man or woman can be above or beyond the international laws by which all of us
must live. Will this happen? It can, if we are determined!
