He's Back

Well, as if you didn't expect this to come sooner or later. Of course, all the hawks will declare this as just one more reason we should bomb the shit out of some already bombed-out villages, and the peaceniks will use this as one more reason that we should stop eating meat.

But read this carefully. As I have said in the past, this guy and all his cronies are fucking nutjobs who have no right to breathe the same air as me. However, given the current world political climate, neither are a lot of people (including about 99.9% of those in charge of the good ol' US of A). Having said that...what's so bad about what he's saying? If there were several hundred thousand muslim soldiers roaming the streets of my town, I'd be pretty pissed too. And you know what? I'd want them the fuck out. So I can understand, to a degree. As for the truce thing, I'm torn. Part of me says: why should I ever give a second thought to anything this guy says? And what could possibly be the incentive for this guy to offer a truce? But the other part of me is saying: maybe there's something to this...

Well, here's what would happen, most likely: we agree to a truce, the terms of which include us staying out of the middle east. We still get oil, but we have no political or diplomatic influence over the region. We leave them alone, and they slowly start establishing regimes based on sharia all over the place. The Taliban come back and do their thing, but they leave us alone (remember the truce). These new regimes increase the pressure on Israel, and maybe there's some increasing tension. But guess what? We're sitting pretty. If George Bush's real intent is to keep us safe, who gives a fuck what the consequences are? And plus, why is it our job to push a culture, lifestyle, or moral code on anyone? Sure, I'd like to see people being treated fairly and equally the world over, but at the price of the blood of my brothers? Ask yourself.
