Racist Transformation Strategies: The Pirates Have Already Lost in Iraq

For the sake of the future of the world, it is actually a good thing to have all of the idiots reading from the same page.

“The outcome is not in doubt,” declared Donald Rumsfeld last Saturday, in San Antonio. The US will prevail in Iraq, no matter what it takes.

“We and our allies must make a generational commitment to helping the people of the Middle East transform their region,” National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice lectured Black journalists, in Dallas, earlier this month. “Like the transformation of Europe, the transformation of the Middle East will require a commitment of many years.” The US will be in Iraq long after her last neuron has died of boredom.

"This is the future for the world we're in at the moment,” said Rumsfeld special assistant Lawrence Di Rita, surveying American prospects in Iraq, last month. “We'll get better as we do it more often." The US will keep invading other nations until it achieves imperial perfection.

As long as the Pirates keep talking like that, their failure will be a certainty. Friends of peace should never wince when warmongers shout their intentions – the alternative is that they attack in stealth and win by surprise. It is certain that elites around the globe heard Condoleezza Rice quite clearly when she declared U.S. determination to impose American hegemony as firmly as was achieved after World War Two. That’s not how the ruling circles or common folks of sovereign nations plan to spend their futures – under an American thumb. They will conspire to make things turn out otherwise.


<snip>

There is no need for anti-American propaganda when the Secretary of Defense hisses daily through bared teeth that humanity has no rights that Americans are bound to respect. The Pirates’ words are elegant in their simplicity. They plan to wage war for generations, are open only to ideas on how to improve their war making skills, and will not permit a future in which the U.S. does not rule. What could be plainer? The world is rapidly becoming as simple as George Bush’s brain.
