God Help America

Now the ‘terrorists’ are equivalent to Nazis, Fascists and Communists, according to the new campaign trail launched by George W Bush to try and win back failing support for his unlawful invasion of Iraq which has so far left 2,500 Americans and 45,000 Iraqis dead
OK, so when Bush waged his ‘war on terror’ in Iraq, there were no Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq, 47,500 people are now dead from the Iraq ‘war on terror’ and the (US) superpower that waged war on Iraq did so in violation of the United Nations and then gave its own citizens the contracts to rebuild what it, itself had bombed.
Then after Hezbollah kidnapped 2 Israeli soldiers (Israel had already kidnapped 10,000 Palestinians held in ITS jails) Irael invaded Lebanon and asked US to urgently send more weapons shipments of cluster bombs to Israel (as it had already sent to them in 1982 when they waged an earlier invasion of Lebanon).
Israel recently dropped 379 of these cluster bombs on the 1300 mostly Lebanese civillians (90% of which it dropped in the last 72 hours AFTER the announcement of an agreed ceasefire). And those left unexploded will now blow the limbs off children who find them as refugees return to their destroyed villages to salvage some kind of life.
Now, pardon me if I’m missing something here, but there are communist countries who have not been doing this sort of wholesale white-washed massacre recently. And Fascism is a system where a power dictates over others with no regard for what is legal or just. And Nazism is about a narcissistic cultural/racial superiority people use to justify their belief in a right to harm others they see as evil or inferior.
The president attempting to TERRORISE his own citizens into fearing moslem nations through the strategic use of TRIGGER words like TERRORIST, NAZI, FASCIST, COMMUNIST is the same president responsible for the training and instruction of those who committed the tortures and atrocities at Abu Graib, those who have tortured and sexually assaulted prisoners at the illegal facility of Guantanamo Bay conveniently located in Cuba and sanctioned most of their confessions under torture via EXTRAORDINARY RENDITION to countries that allow torture before using this to imprison them in solitary confinement, often without light for months at a time at Guantamo Bay (as in the case of Australian political pawn, David Hicks, found guarding a tank and having trained at an illegal combat training camp… as opposed to Mr Bush’s legal ones that have trained torturers).
So exactly how much fear will the American public buy? They’re not puppets for the psychological manipulation of any sociopath to play with. They have grown beyond the trigger words used to control them and distract them from legitimately begrudging below award wages, exploitation, racial inequality and violence, right wing legitimising of gay bashings, a still existant Ku Klux Klan and growing Neo-Nazi movement, and the sacrificing of thousands to the hurricane forces of Katrina in New Orleans as the funds were diverted to ‘more important things’.
The American public has made up its mind on Mr Bush with his 30% approval rating. Are they not entitled to have their own minds, their own opinions without a campaign trail broadcast 24/7 peppered with TRIGGER WORDS to numb them, hypnotise them, back into fear… and compliance?
Some say God Bless America.
I say, with George W Bush playing God with the minds of Americans, then God help America.
