A State responsible for over 2 million civilian deaths in Indo-China (indiscriminate carpet bombing) and over 1 million civilian deaths in Iraq recently declared that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard should be designated a terrorist organisation! It seems the higher you go in American politics the less brainpower is required to make decisions. The Gulf of Tonkin ‘incident,’ the USS Liberty attack of the 6 day war, the WMD Iraq deceptions and the latest absurd government explanations (garble) we are asked to swallow regarding the destruction of WTC buildings and the anthrax letters makes Alice in Wonderland the epitome of rational thought and logic.
Red Queen running with Alice
It is true we live in a topsy-turvy world of irrationality, very ill logic and injustice. We ARE a society of morons who accept punishment or jail for minor misdemeanours while our lunatic, criminal rulers remain unpunished for committing unspeakable cruelties and monstrous crimes against humanity. Who is the more culpable in these situations the people or their rulers/governments?
Not in living memory has the world witnessed such profound incompetence as that displayed by the new conservatives or neo-cons as they are dis-affectionately known. Their delinquent actions have resulted in the destruction of an entire nation and millions of innocent deaths; yet as if to deflect their culpability, they rant that others are to blame and that an attack on them is imminent in order to restore/preserve the ‘freedom’ to slaughter others who may unfortunately possess resources or strategic territory that PIG AMERICA covets!
Perhaps we should obtain one of those magic bullets that turns corners and follows an impossible trajectory to finally blow the brain from the skull of a Irish Catholic Democrat President who attracted the scorn of conservatives of that period.
But we are I’m sorry to say, beyond redemption for allowing ourselves to be led by heinous criminals and the dregs of humanity. The worst is yet to come and our irrational fears will soon be justified – do we actually expect improvement by allowing the same forces to act as overlords over their own private serfdoms?
Carnage is my name and I promise you a hell ON EARTH worse than any Hades described in any text written by man; but I couldn’t have done it without YOUR contribution. In fact, you have made it ALL possible, you have earned your reward, and it couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch.

Iran says it will make a formal protest to Iraq on Wednesday over the arrest and detention of seven of its nationals by US troops in Baghdad.
The men were seized from one of the city's main hotels and led away blindfolded and in handcuffs.
The Iranian embassy in Baghdad says the men were experts helping to rebuild electricity power stations in Iraq.
The US military declined to comment, saying that the action was part of an operation that had not been completed.
The group was detained at the Sheraton Ishtar Hotel. Video footage showed soldiers leading the men out of the building.
Other soldiers were seen carrying what appeared to be luggage and a laptop computer bag.
'Murderous activities'
The arrests came shortly after a speech by US President George W Bush in which he criticised Iranian interference in Iraq.
Tension between the US and Iran is running high - with the US accusing Iran of providing arms, money and military training to Shia insurgents in Iraq.
President Bush stated that he had authorised his military commanders in Iraq to confront what he called Iran's "murderous activities" in the country.
He also said the entire region would be under the shadow of a "nuclear holocaust" if Iran developed nuclear weapons. Tehran insists its nuclear programme is peaceful.
Earlier, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said that US power in Iraq was on the verge of collapse and this would lead to "a huge vacuum" which Iran would be willing to fill.
In January, five Iranians - who the US say are linked to Iran's Revolutionary Guard and were training militants in Iraq - were captured in the northern city of Irbil.
The five remain in US custody.
