It would seem that the US Military is on the move yet again. This time we can expect to witness the slaughter of the innocent citizens of Fallujah. Slowly, over the past few months, U.S. Stormtroopers have been surrounding the city. Anxiously anticipating the electoral victory at home, they waited. Patiently and with an iron discipline they prepared. Then on the eve of the massacre Bush ordered leaflets be dropped on the city. A warning to the English speaking citizens to get out of town. Mere days after Karl Rove delivered the presidency as promised, the order was given. In true hitlarian, fashion the Army of the Fourth Reich began marching into the sacred city of Fallujah.
Before this siege is over we can expect to see upward of 50,000 civilians killed. Not insurgents or terrorists as the Bushies would have you believe but innocent women and children; shopkeepers, cobblers, masons and the like. Soon after the conquest, US Torture camps will begin to appear where prisoners will be abused sexually humiliated and photographed just as they were in Abu Gharab. This time, however, we may never see the full extent of this carnage as Rumsfeld will certainly be very careful to keep his Gestapo out of the limelight.
All of this destruction under the guise of protecting America, these heinous acts of genocide will only put America in more danger. We should be prepared for repercussions on a grand scale. It is a foregone conclusion that if there are WMD in Iraq, they will be swiftly used by the desperate Iraqis (those who survive the blitzkrieg anyway) in a justified retaliation against America and Americans all around the world (except in France and Canada).If all of this isn’t bad enough, the price of oil will continue to rise until the already depressed US economy reaches the breaking point. The convenience store industry will be the first to collapse subsequently bringing down construction trades and pizza delivery. Soon after all our immigrant workers will abandon their jobs and return home. Eventually an ambulance ride, which currently costs about $1250, will skyrocket to hundreds of thousands of dollars resulting in the complete collapse of the health care industry. By summer of 2005 we could be seeing unemployment numbers as high as 80% and inflation at 125%.
If John Kerry had been elected the Fallujah offensive would have been scrapped. The overzealous command structure in Iraq would have been dismantled in favor of a more sensitive UN led coalition. Summer of 2005 would have seen a complete internationalization of the Iraq problem and the UN’s Oil for Food program would be sending relief to Fallujah not smart bombs. Kerry would have taken more peace to the Middle East not more war. We would be bringing our troops home not sending them into harms way. By the end of 2005 we would have been eating French fries and French toast again, and kissing without having to hold our tongues back.
As if that weren't enough, Kerry would have reached out to Yassir Arafat and forged an alliance with the Palestinians not alienated him as Bush has done. Clearly making friends with the Arabs would be more productive that killing them. America needs to extend the olive branch toward the Middle East not shoot arrows. Arafat is dead now. Do the hopes for a peaceful Palestinian state co-existing with Israel die with him? Unfortunately, I am convinced that the damage our military has done in Iraq coupled with dubya's reckless foreign policy, have damned us to be wiped from the face of this earth.
