March, the 20th, 2008.
A day like today, five years ago, Bush/Cheney and Co. invaded Iraq. The reasons? They had, allegedly, Weapons of Mass Destruction. Is more than evident that five years later, Bush/Cheney and Co. never found the famous WMD. Of course, Now I remember, Bush admitted later on that it was a lie, just to get mass support in order to invade a foreign country, (which coincidently happens to be one of the top oil producers of the world). On top of that, Bush/Cheney and Co. insisted in link Iraq with Al Qaeda, despite the fact that Hussein and Bin Laden hated each other.
So, after all this years and all these lies, I would like to offer my humble opinion about the results of the arguably "War on Terror", as a tribute to the 5-year mark, we unfortunately have reached.
1.- 4,000 of our sons, daughters, fathers, mothers and assorted family members, killed in "action". Thousand more injured.
2.- Tens of thousands of iraquis’ sons, daughters, fathers, mothers and assorted family members killed or injured. By the way, interesting piece of .. do you know how many iraquis were among the alleged kidnappers of 9/11? None. Most of them were...Guess?...Saudis (The most cherished commercial partners of the Bush family) and the rest, egyptians. So, can somebody explain to me, what does Iraq have to do with it?
3.- Well, Two Trillion Dollars, yes, you’ve read it right, spent so far in the conflict. I think that’s more than enough to hurt the economy of any country. Am I wrong?
4.- Patriot Act. Department of Homeland Security. Telecommunications’ intervention without warrant. Among other laws around that neighborhood.
5.- Enormous chunks of money taken from Health and Education budgets. (This one hurts!)
Now, the most important questions risen from all this chaos:
1.- Are we safer now?
Not only we’re not. In fact, we still live in constant fear and the government constantly reminding us of the "Danger of terror we’re fighting against".
2.- The entire world love us more or hate us more?
Well, I think the latter is the correct answer. More so, Bush/Cheney and Co. became the most hated president and president team ever, within United States and abroad.
3.- Economic recession?
Should I say more?.
4.- Where is the alleged author of the 9/11 events?
Is it me or that guy is still on the loose? And now is threatening the world again.
5.- Do we have cheaper gas?
Yeah, right!
6.- And what about the "Housing" problem all over the country?
Is 24,000,000 houses in foreclosure enough to answer that question?
Well, as you can see, I really don’t see too many virtues of that supposedly "War on Terror" orchestrated by Bush/Cheney and Co. However, I know I’m preaching to the choir, but it seems impossible to me, that there are people around, still believing all the lies those bastards keep telling us and even worse, people supporting that insane-illogical-unfair-criminal-shameful war on terror that’s taking place in that far, far away land and with no actual consequences on terror itself, for the wellness of the global community.
I’m done, I don’t want to get passionate about this.
Just think about it, maybe something will happen and so much pain and destruction become in love and beauty, maybe.
