It just occurred to me that if it had not been for the fall of the Soviet Union I doubt the whole Gulf War thing would have happened. At least during the Cold War there was some balance in the world, as fucked up as that was. Now I have to live in Babylon, in the belly of the Evil Empire praying for the day when normalcy and moderation and peace will emerge.
My heart goes out to all the American and Iraqi people and families that will lose their lives and loved ones in this corporate/military takeover of Iraq. It must be a good feeling to know you might die as part of some power struggle by global elites. If that’s patriotism then you can shove it up your ass. In fact, I hope our wayward military learns a lesson when and if this charade happens. We need to be taken down a notch.
