Is It Me or Them That's Insane?
By RON JACOBS
The news is not good. Three American security guards
blown up in Gaza. Richard Perle stating that the
Pentagon could easily commit troops to an attack on
Syria because Syria is "militarily weak." Meanwhile,
Jack Straw (a misnomer if there ever was one) is in the
news saying that a military attack on Iran has not been
ruled out. Oh yeh, let's not forget Iraq-more than a
dozen US military and their Iraqi employees dead in the
past week, plus a few other foreigners. These numbers do
not even address the Iraqi and Palestinian casualties in
either of those occupied countries.
As I write this, Al-Jazeera is reporting that Hamas and
Islamic Jihad have both distanced themselves from the
attack on the US security detail that was destroyed in
Gaza. CNN has yet to acknowledge this statement,
preferring as usual to publish Israeli statements that
attribute the attack to the Palestinian resistance. This
means that they believe it was Hamas or one of the other
resistance organizations that committed the attack.
However, the immediate denial by Hamas and Islamic Jihad
lead me to believe that perhaps it was an Israeli
organization (governmental or otherwise) that may have
killed those guards. After all, Sharon and his
government opposes the so-called road map to peace-which
is why these Americans were in Gaza in the first place-
and if the US can be scared away from even this poor
excuse for a solution to the Palestinian situation, then
the plan for a Greater Israel can move ahead.
No matter who committed this act, it (unfortunately)
comes as no surprise. The US patronage of Israel was
bound to blow up in its face sooner or later. For it to
occur during the same time period that the US vetoed two
resolutions condemning Israel for its attack on Syria
and its construction of the apartheid wall makes sense
from a Palestinian point of view and (if Israel wants to
commit an act that it could blame on the Palestinians),
an Israeli point of view. Why would the Palestinians
want to get the US military involved, anyhow? That's
almost like committing suicide considering their meager
resources.
As for Richard Perle and his bellicose ravings; he is
quoted in the Jerusalem Post regarding the recent attack
by Israel on Syria thusly: "I was happy to see that
Israel has now taken a similar step (to the US in
Afghanistan) in responding to acts of terror that
originate in Lebanese territory by going to the rulers
of Lebanon in Damascus." What's scary about this
statement is the use of the word "happy." How can a sane
individual be "happy" that the world has moved a step
closer to another war? Then again, how can a sane person
continue to support almost any aspect of the U.S. policy
in the Middle East? If the architects of this policy are
ever put on trial, insanity can be their only defense
because willful ignorance is no defense at all. Besides,
who would believe that these policy makers don't know
what their doing? The problem is that they do know what
they are doing: they are attempting to remold the world
into their plantation and marketplace. They will do this
through bribery, assimilation, threats and plain old
mass murder. It's not that these men don't understand
the world, it's that they only see it the way they want
to see it.
The British government suffers from a similar insanity.
Jack Straw, who shares a name with the legendary 15th
century British peasant organizer, told the British
parliament that he had not ruled out armed action
against Iran if it did not meet the US and UK's
requirements concerning its nuclear program. While
Iran's leaders certainly seem to suffer from their own
particular insanity, Straw's statement (echoed by many
other Western madmen) is further evidence of the US-UK
axis' psychotic state. The Security Council vote that
essentially gives the UN blessing to Washington's
occupation of Iraq indicates that most other world
leaders are showing symptoms of this affliction.
What is the solution? Well, it's going to take more than
a couple weeks worth of meds. These maniacs need to be
removed from their positions of power, before they can
cause any more damage to the world or themselves. Their
illusions and delusions are causing irreparable damage
to their surroundings and, unless they are subdued,
their arson and other destructive tendencies will
continue to intimidate and convince others in their
sphere of influence to go along with their madness. It
has to be madness, for only madness has the energy and
resoluteness it requires to destroy the world.
