Setting the Stage For Torture, Murder and
Unprovoked War
Comment by Larry

Lets order "Hijacking Catastrophe" and show it around NZ. What
do you think?
The record of discarded international peace and disarmament treaties should
have mentioned Bush's refusal to allow any Americans to come under the
jurisdiction of the World Court.
That is because he knew he and
many American soldiers doing his bidding, would soon be committing a great
number of war crimes. Previous US administrations have worked hard and
long to help create these treaties and the UN. They believed the UN and
the treaties were essential to reduce the likelihood of a WW III and for
a world of law, survival of mankind, and eventual disarmament..
No longer. The treaties are under attack and international law is something
to be manipulated or ignored. The world is turning into a barbarous jungle
of nuclear predators - this time with WMD, and 5,000 nuclear weapons on
hair trigger alert.
As this article points out, they are even recruiting them in the schools
now.
Has man learned anything from the thousands of wars he has engaged in
throughout history?
No. People still believe that "their military will protect them and
that a strong leader like Bush is needed today etc etc". People don't
have much concern that the most powerful nation in history has become
a rogue regime, violating international law, committing war crimes and
ignoring the UN. Bush, Blair and Howard have all been re-elected and will
give us more of the same. It's a mystery why more people aren't concerned?
Like the Global Warming crisis, we will soon be past the point of no return,
if we haven't passed it already.

Some
Dots Are Finally Getting Connected

Hijacking Catastrophe video is powerful, understated, straightforward
and educational.
In a single meticulously organized hour of evidence and analysis, viewers
are treated to a thoughtful explanation of modern American empire, neo-conservatism
as a driving force for the current Bush administration.
A documentary featuring Noam Chomsky, Chalmers Johnson, Tariq Ali, and
many more experts speaking about the Neo-Con agenda and the cloud of fear
which the Neo-Cons have settled over America.

Fear, and the Selling of American Empire. Information

"Recruiters with the gift of gab go
into the schools with a glamorous pitch, bags full of goodies for the
kids (T-shirts, donuts, key chains) and a litany of promises they often
can't keep. The kids don't hear much about their chances of being maimed
or killed, or the trauma that often results from killing someone else.
... (A soldier's job is to kill. I can still hear the drill sergeants
in basic training screaming at us decades ago: "What are you? What
are you?" And we'd scream back: "Killers! Killers!" And
the sergeants would say, "What is your purpose?" And we would
shout: "To kill! To kill!")
... Americans are catching on to the hideousness and apparent futility
of the war in Iraq.
... A Washington Post-ABC News poll last week found that nearly three-quarters
of Americans believe the number of casualties in Iraq is unacceptable,
and 60 percent believe the war was not worth fighting.There's something
frankly embarrassing about a government offering trinkets to children
to persuade them to go off and fight - and perhaps die - in a war that
their nation should never have started in the first place.
... The parents of the kids being sought by recruiters to fight this unpopular
war are creating a highly vocal and potentially very effective antiwar
movement. In effect, they're saying to their own children: hell no, you
won't go.
