What's the Magician's Other Hand Doing While we're All Watching the War?

If this song does not bring a chill down your back, then you probably did not learn the lessons of VietNam. About every 30 years we are doomed to repeat the mistakes of history because youngsters (those less than 30) didn't learn from history. It is easy to make a war monger. Hype him on explosive weapons and righteousness rather than the realities in non-fiction. We are at war in Iraq for the same reasons we attacked VietNam. Number one reason in that list - preemption. The need to attack another before he can be a threat. Just as the Nazis did. Same reason we got into VietNam.

Umm last I looked you have to be over thirty to be a member of Congress and over 45 to be President. As for the lessons learned I feel that Bush learned them rather well: The poor and the non-white go die. What better way to lower the unemployment rate. Its not like his kids (or those of anybody he is connected to) are going to be put in harms way.

So I'm thinking I'm going to start a pool to see which countries are next... My bet is Iran, Syria, Cuba, N. Korea...

Quite honestly I think if Saddam can hold out a month he may save the world. I figure thats about how long it going to take for people to really start to feel some sort of loss close to home and realize that this version of reality tv is really real for that kid down the street who used to cut through thier yard everyday on the way to school. If that doesn't happen and this is over next week there will still be enough flag wavers out there to make Bush think he can keep doing this over and over for the next six years.

As far as the ELF is concerned, the FBI has paid that guy (too lazy to figure out his name) a couple two three visists. But there is nothing that they can do! There is no organization to take down. He just posts this shit on is website and sits back to watch the fires burn. Basically the activists are falling for the same shit they are protesting about the rest of the time. Dumb.

As for the biblical and other references to the end of the world, I'm sure we can always find another one to ruin...
