Political Cortex: Brain Food for the Body Politic

There has been no weapon ever devised that hasn't eventually been used.  The events of World War Two where approximately 50 million people were killed should have triggered the realization that war with nuclear weapons can self destruct both victim as well as the nation that begins a nuclear nightmare.

The question that must be asked, "Has the Bush Republican administration set the stage for a nuclear confrontation with the Iraq War?"

Can those responsible for the death toll of Iraqis, the death toll of U.S. service personnel, the pain and suffering of the 56,000 U.S. service personnel wounded ever be held accountable?

The answer is an emphatic "Yes!"

Nobody in this day and age can hide anymore.  No barrage of flag waving or cleverly orchestrated media propaganda will work.  No attempting to parallel the Iraq War with World War Two will work anymore.

Why not?  The answer is simple.  We have entered the era of the computer age.  This has ripped the cloak of anonymity off warmongers.

Now, no matter how many brazen lies, no matter how many cover up propaganda media blitzes that the major news networks employ, it just won't work anymore.

Internet computer operators worldwide won't let warmongers and liars hide.  The current wars raging in Iraq and Afghanistan this moment are not World War Two, the Korean War of the Vietnam War.

While the world watched with shock and awe the Iraq War flashed across worldwide television news channels.

A new kind of reality set in as a TV audience instantaneously witnessed the horrifying death and destruction of the Iraq War.

The well orchestrated lies that launched the Iraq War became known to every nation on planet earth.  The U.S. allies of World War Two clashed mightily with the U.S.A. on launching the Iraq War.  How dare anyone compare the Iraq War to World War Two!

The oil contract allowing long-term lease rights to 63 of Iraq's 80 oil wells, Iraq has refused to sign.  Can you blame the Iraqi government for that?

Was the real reason for the Iraq War the wish of petroleum conglomerates to control the majority of Iraq's oil?

If this could be proven in an international war crimes court in Geneva, those responsible for launching the Iraq War could be held accountable.

The finger pointing exercise of George Bush, daring to declare certain nations as falling within the "axis of evil", considering his own conduct, is nothing short of absurd.

Ever since the Iraq War began, many nations have become concerned with their own safety.  Power to protect their very existences has been sought.

Could it be that the Iraq War is responsible for a worldwide nuclear buildup?  India and Egypt have both recently acquired nuclear power.

Is it any wonder that Iran insists it wants nuclear power for peaceful use?  Iranians are well aware that it was the U.S. that supplied Saddam Hussein with weapons to hit them during the Iran-Iraq War.  

A July 31 article in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer read:

115 COUNTRIES BACK RIGHT TO `PEACEFUL' NUCLEAR POWER

"More than 100 nonaligned nations backed Iran's right to peaceful use of nuclear power on Wednesday, an endorsement sought by Tehran in its standoff with the U.N. Security Council over its refusal to freeze uranium enrichment.  The decision came as Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khameni, pledged to continue the country's nuclear program."

George Bush has insisted on placing rocket launching capability on the Czech border, right on the border of Russia.

Russia is well supplied with nuclear warheads.  This border threat has triggered Russia to talk with Cuban officials regarding placing rocket launching systems in Cuba.

Not content with generating turmoil in the Middle East, with 2 ½ million Iraqis fleeing for their lives to Iran, Syria and Jordan, Bush has done even more!

Has this White House resident effectively launched a new Cold War with Russia?

Remember, this is the same George Bush whose bizarre activity extended to the realms of blasphemy combined with supreme fantasy through his claim that he received guidance on Iraq through talking directly to God, referred to as his "other father" in distinction to his earthly father, who had previously launched the Gulf War.  

Now we must wonder what is next on Bush's reckless and megalomaniacal quest for global power.
