in the other kitchen...

the war machine-backed dubya administration thought they could whip up an oil war in the name of "liberation" without cleaning up after themselves. i fear that years later, some high school history textbook is going to dilute in a couple of paragraphs this god awful war long after the hundreds (and only hundreds as i right this, who knows how many more) of iraqi civilians who have been slaughtered for profit, and the sacrificial us-british soldiers (i don't even know how many of they will fall, either) are long buried. if we're lucky, the history books might even have a sentence that may imply that the reasons for why the US invaded iraq was for ulterior motives using falsified evidence--there was no terror threat from iraq, no lofty, altruistic dreams of "liberation" for the iraqi people; there was just the goal of profit and control of this planet's limited resources. but then again, i'm still waiting for some rogue, ex-CIA agent to say, "we killed JFK!!" though it is hard, i try to sit in and listen to the radio to the reports of all the civilians dying in this war because i never want to forget how much this should never happen again. america has become such a virulent disease to the rest of the world. beyond that, i don't know what else to type.
