THE WAR IS OVER....

The war on terror might be a ridiculous nonsense double talk, but it appears to be winning. The middle east is becoming the western east and that's all there is to it.....

Yes, on the day that sees Israel step up it's bombardment with the sort of ease more normally associated with pressing ones foot on the acelarator, with Fidel appearing to be fading away, the banks recording record profits, and we in the west being fed the sort of news coverage which suggests the US will do exactly what it wants, when it wants, it's difficult ot see anything other than the further expansion of the western capitalist world and to hell with the consequences!!.....

We have the money, the power, the bombs and the will to say DO WHAT WE SAY!!!!

So the question has to be asked is this really a bad thing???

Well in my heart it's an unfair human nightmare of the worst sort - a vicious and nasty aberation, but I'm saying this from a nice flat on the edge of the olympic village with a fridge full of food and no job to have to go to tomorrow. I have acres of possesions and a decent personal life, I'm sitting pretty and wars like this one substantiate my lifestyle.

This can't be ignored....Mine and everyone elses in the western world, is a lifestyle funded and fueled by oil, money and power, so to suggest we shouldn't be fighting for these things is somewhat ridiculous, unless we want to leave our wealth behind.

So, regardless of my own moral indignation at what is happening, I know it's just another war over resources, the like of which have and will continue to plague the human world for time immemorial. This is industrial life and we in the west are on the winning side...

Perhaps when i see the legions of Michael MORE fans, disbanding their security, burning their cars, putting on a shemagh, preparring to die and moving to join the war, I might believe their is another possible outcome and a revolution of sorts, but at the moment I can't see it...

We don't have to get ready for to recieve the spoils of war, we are already recieving them...George and Tony are just doing their job in keeping us as we are...

Basically, I don't want to hear all the moaning about death and destruction.... Give it all up and then protest...
