h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

well, everyone is in a terrible fankle over this war business,no? i must say, it does rather feel like good old tail brain bush is pushing us relentlessly towards armageddon. do you suppose it's an attempt to deflect not from his party's sleazy domestic scandals but rather from his total ineptitude in general? i feel he is just enough of a brainstem to consider it a good idea to eclipse his most unremarkable presidency with something memorable, regardless of how terrible it may be. let's face it, he's not likely to go down in the history books as a man who did great things,now is he? so why not start a good old war to be remembered by....only i doubt he can spell 'war'. so what to do about it? well, apparently there have been demonstrations here, but it isn't making a blind bit of difference, is it? of course, someone may try to kill him, it wouldn't be the first time an american president has been offed - i find it most interesting, mind, that the last one to die was actually on the side of the good guys, and i doubt if anyone would dare to attempt it; there seems to be a general frenzy in the old patriotism stakes from over the water after that most dreadful thing, sept. 11th,however, at what cost, i have to ask, does blind patriotism come in at?

Aah yes; American emperialism takes another lunge forward, with Tony Blair attached limpet-like to Bush's rear, suckling on the nuggets. What mystifies me is where they found all the morons prepared to fight in and around Iraq, when both governments are still trying to deny the existence of Gulf War Syndrome.

It seems the old adage is true; if you're not doing well in the polls, start a war. There is supposed to be a revelation of 'conclusive proof' soon that Iraq is sponsoring terrorism and continuing to develop weapons of mass destruction. Personally, I don't think there is anything that can't be faked, so nothing could be conclusive proof. That said, it is possible that Saddam's 'Mother of all battles' speech in 1991, actually meant terrorism in the long term, rather than a battlefield conflict. I don't see him being that smart either though.
