NO
WAR
How about ending the illegal sanctions?
What does the US gain from starving the people’s Iraq?
Will Unseating the Saddam regime provide
stability to the Middle East or Israel?
Why is it imperative to stop a nation who can’t strike more
than 150km in any direction…
when another nation arms itself with Nuclear weapons and the
capacity to strike the US?
Why kill when you can do thousands of other things?
|
| This world is
fucked…and it’s almost all of our faults…instead of
pretending we have no responsibility to our own future
disaster lets do something to avoid it. Perhaps a new regime
in Afghanistan, Iraq and other regions of the Middle East can
be beneficiary, but will it help the people living there. Why
is the US attacking with such force and so little regard for
the lives of the people in these nations on so little
evidence? If the US ignores the UN why should we even have it?

War…almost a constant in some lives…it can be
pretty easily said that they aren’t the lucky ones sitting
here reading this. They’ll be lucky to make it to my age and
even luckier to have the chance to read half the stuff I have
(Wow I sound arrogant now!). But regardless of who is
suffering we need to ask ourselves how we allow ourselves to
be pushed around by leaders the way we are. Do we even need
leaders to solve problems? Do our leaders even solve problems?
So if leaders aren’t the solutions what is? Are
ideas the solution? Is Escapism the road to success? Is
personal enlightenment enough? IS yoga or meditation the key?
How about training everyone to fight or defend themselves? |
|
Perhaps some possibilities mentioned are more
important than others but for all intents and purposes,
laypeople generally don’t think war is the solution unless
they’ve been harmed by others. If they haven’t been harmed
by others reasons will get created to make people think they
have been harmed. In Vietnam simple villagers were labeled as
savages who made the landmines their fellow comrades were
blown up on. In WWII Germans and the Japanese were vicious
monsters capable of anything against our women, children and
mainly our way of life. This is how the art of war-making
happens. Chinese farmers couldn’t tell the difference
between Japanese pilots and their own pilots but somehow knew
they were different. Are Canadians evil igloo dwelling
Cannibals to Americans even though we look (and are),
relatively the same?
|
Presently war never seems to solve the problem.
The problem seems to be psychological deficiencies and
shortcomings of leaders leading people (mainly gullible and
poor men) to die. If people thirsted for love and nurturing
instead of control and resources we would truly live in a
world worth dying for. As it stands none of my friends feel it
worth while to die for this world or for our leaders? The
feeling is like this: Why don’t you fucks who want war go
fight for it and die. It may sound arrogant but I don’t
believe there are any truly Great or Noble wars anymore and
probably never were. If we concentrated on communication and
negotiating mutual futures perhaps all this war can be
avoided. Until we learn to communicate we are left looking to
find the lesser of two evils and support them.
Case and point: Saddam/Bush which one is worthy
of being trusted? Which one was elected under a democratic
election process? Which one isn’t power-hungry? Which one
truly believes god is on their side? Which leader is sending
their troops off to battle? The truth is bush has lied many
times in the very short amount of time he’s been in office
before 9/11 happened and Saddam Hussein isn’t exactly a
bastion of truth-telling either. Bush wasn’t elected and
refused a hand-count of many reasons (mainly because he lost).
Saddam threatened death to those who didn’t vote for him.
These guys are totally aware of what war does to people and
especially their people. They choose to arm and fight in
defiance of all common sense. Do US troops know how hot
(temperature and mob mentality-wise) it’s gonna be down
there in a few weeks? Do they think a shell-shocked population
will welcome them with open arms (which they surely did not
last time) after being bombed for 12 years straight after the
gulf war slaughter?

Is this war over Oil, Water or strategic land
from which to attack the next axis of evil member Iran? Does
anyone remember when the US put Saddam’s family in charge of
Iraq because they wanted to make sure that 60% of the
population (the shi’a) who are ideologically linked to Iran
doesn’t get into power. Anyone remember when the US sold
them Anthrax, VX, Sarin, West Nile and tons of other chemical
and biological weapons when they fought America’s enemy
Iran? Anyone found any logical link between al qae’da and
Saddam yet?
Who are the terrorists now? US or Iraq? Who
abuses it’s power worldwide? Who uses populations including
their own as fodder for the next war it illegally creates? Yes
Iraq isn’t run by angels but they can’t do much besides
attack their own citizens without attracting world-wide
attention but when the US attacks someone it is justified? The
real terrorists aren’t running from cave to cave, they’re
running to power lunches with business suits on? Their
interests are never peace and security they are power and
control of everything they can get their fingers into.
Whichever country you look at you’ll see the same trend. But
by and large the US is Indicted the most and is the worst at
getting caught abusing their power.
|
But hey, I don’t really care that much cause my
country sure isn’t gonna get hit by terrorists like the US
will. This may again sound arrogant as other people die but I
haven’t caused these wars or conditions to create these wars
so why should I feel guilty? I’m happy to know that even our
strategic locations mean nothing to our terrorism enemies who
have long used Canada as a haven for terrorists. Even if dying
to terrorism ends my life or friends or families I will feel
no shame knowing that I spoke up in this time of other
people’s need to end the corruption of the biggest crumbling
empire the world has yet seen.
My conclusion:
It has to be up to Americans to start getting rid
of the liars, the cheaters and take their country back from
the leaders (who no one would ever follow into battle) and
take this once proud nation back from the politicians,
backstabbers, professional liars and paid hit men. Only when
you get rid of international terrorists from your leadership,
lobby groups, PR firms, and your diplomatic departments will
you ever stop to receive the hatred from other nations you
receive right now. You are # 1 as most hated and most despised
and not most respected and benevolent. You are not a
democratic nation and you are not loved the world over just
for being American. You as the people the United States must
swallow your pride and earn your way back into the hearts and
minds of the world by rising up and taking down the tyrants
who control you. It is up to you not to anyone else. We
can give you support but that is all. Good luck and I hope you
learn quickly that Dubya doesn’t give a fuck about ya!
