The Long Road

04/14/2003 Archived Entry: "Uh-Oh"

I don't know how many people saw/read the news when this happened, Bush said something that was almost exactly "Syria has chemical weapons". Time for them to think "Uh-Oh". I've been pretty sure that this war isn't one for oil, vendetta, weapons of mass destruction (I hate that phrase), terrorism or the "freedom of the Iraqi people". The theory that I subscribe to is that this war is a stabilization plan of the Middle East. The U.S. has basically decided that it is sick of the wars going on in the Middle East and that they will end the strife there by enforcing their rules and way of thinking. Indeed, it has been documented that the U.S. will subvert governments (look up Venezuela and Kissinger) with which it is unhappy, this time it has just taken a much more direct approach. Since before the war with Iraq ended, the U.S. has been accusing Syria of helping the Iraqis and now of developping chemical weapons. It is probably only a matter of time until the troops in Iraq make the little journey over to Syria. Remember that the war with Iraq started because the U.S. said Saddam had WOMD but as the war has progressed I find that that has really been neglected. I'm certain that they will never find any concrete evidence but the general populace will forget all about that once the next big push starts; which is exactly what the government wants. With the war with Iraq having gone well (ie: low U.S. casualties), it will be easy for the U.S. government to convince their own people that taking Syria is the most moral thing to do next. The pill of liberation, anti-terrorism and destruction of WOMD is an easy one for the U.S. public to swallow. The U.S. government has basicaly decided that it has become the Watchman for the world, and the question that arises of course is: Who Watches the Watchmen?

No one watches the Watchmen: they self-govern by greating a group of watchmen called the United Nations. Then the US decides to begin their control of the world by eliminating other cultures which is deems not what they like.

They've just got this army sitting in Iraq. I figured they'd suddenly hear rumours of biological or mass destruction weapons in Syria sooner or later. It won't end with Iraq. I'm not even sure it'll end in the middle-east.

The United Nations is useless, they couldn't even prevent US from going to attack Iraq, and needless to say 2/3 of the "world powers" which hold veto cards were against the war. Tsk.
