so, we�re going to war.

again.

we don�t learn.
we never learn.
it must be a contest in DC now� lets see how many new vets we can create�

�oh, don�t worry about all those vets from the last war. i mean, come on now� who thinks about Gulf War Syndrome anymore? that is soooo 1992. this is a new war with new solders high on 9/11 & made for TV battles where X marks the spot for the video game bombs & everything looks so clean once you edit it & wrap it up in a flag & you would never know that those are government issue coffins when they are draped like that. so saddle up Dr. Strangelove, we�ve got a gaping hole where the towers used to be & lets face it, one dead arab is as good as another, right? hey, at least we know we can find Sadam. oh, & where is your flag? aren�t you proud to be an American�? we�re the big boy in the sandbox now & a son must exact revenge for his dad, right? let�s roll.�

& now it�s a race to see who can grab the moral high ground, but no one has the moral balls to hold it & most Americans will think this was a great idea until a bomb levels the local strip mall or they find small pox in the AC vents in their office building or until the nice kid from down the street leaves his memories of the prom scattered inside an army transport along with most of his teeth & upper torso & no amount of whitewash is going to be able to cover this mess up.

& the �experts� on both sides of this are following the same fucking scripts that they have been following for 40 years & the road to hell will be paved with press releases & protest signs. yo, jerry, you stop banging that fucking drum� it is nothing more than moral masturbation with a drumstick.

but forget all of that, we�ve got iraq & france we can pick on now & i would love to give a standing ovation to france for telling bush to go screw himself if they weren�t just looking out for their bottom line & it really does all come back to the money when you think about it� or in bush�s case, his attempt to be the great president & real man his dad never was.

& despite all of the ranting (including my own) & the ranting & raving & spin-doctors & protests & all the rest it boils down to this�

people are going to die
on all sides
over a stupid pissing contest between two asinine leaders who rigged elections to get into power.

welcome to the oldest game with a brand new 21st century shine�
geopolitical chess with real pawns�

�checkmate.
