Looks like hope for sanity on Iraq is dying. Think now of all the people who will die in the next few months and weeks when our government goes to war. I’m repulsed.
Bush issues ultimatum on Iraq:
“The Iraqi regime will disarm itself or the Iraqi regime will be disarmed by force – and the regime has not disarmed itself, ” Mr Bush said.
He said the Iraqi leader was a threat to the peace of free nations, and a cruel oppressor of the Iraqi people.
What a charade. The attempts at a diplomatic solution by the US were nothing but craven political calculation. It’s disgusting the way power is used by the elite. War pays dividends if you’re in the right clubs: oil, defense, finance. Remember, war is a racket. It would arguably be beneficial to the US if we suffered a humiliating defeat. No power should rule unchecked, the power of other nations should always balance out a stronger power.
