Moscow invades Mexico, citing Yucatan’s terrorism threat Consider the following scenario: It’s 1966 -- the height of the Cold War -- and the Soviet Union sends the Red Army 7,000 miles across the globe to gratuitously invade Mexico, entirely without provocation or credible cause. The illegal, immoral aggression is predicated on a preposterous lie about the Mexicans supposedly being an imminent, awful threat to Mother Russia. Moscow overthrows the Mexican government, uses controlled elections to install a puppet regime, and then proceeds to appropriate the hapless country’s oil wealth. In the course of the initial attack and the Mexican patriots’ resistance during the ensuing, hated occupation, tens of thousands of people are killed. All over the planet, huge protest demonstrations take place. A common placard at those angry gatherings is one that reads, “Leonid Brezhnev: The World’s Number One Terrorist.” In the neighboring United States, everyone is outraged. American conservatives, especially, are justifiably livid. They condemn the Soviet travesty, correctly comparing what’s occurred to Hitler’s fascist expansionism. Now, flash forward from an imaginary outrage too crazy to ever have possibly happened. We’re in 2006, and it’s the United States under George Bush that’s occupying Iraq, after a shock-and-awe aggression that blew to pieces not just vastly outgunned Iraqi defenders, but elderly men, terrified women, and small children as well. More than 100,000 of them died. The fabricated rationale for needlessly going to war has been thoroughly exposed as ridiculous. Documents exist showing exactly how Iraqi oil wealth is to be diverted into U.S. corporate coffers by duplicitous means. Collaborators and opportunists comprise the Quisling regime that Washington has installed, while those devoted to true Iraqi freedom and self-determination are gunned down by Marines, or tortured at Abu Ghraib. Angry protests sweep the world. Placards emblazoned with “George Bush: The World’s Number One Terrorist” crop up everywhere. In the United States, however, conservatives lavishly praise Bush’s wretched war. They drive SUVs and own oil company stock. While emitting hypocrisy like a volcano spews clouds of billowing ash. The Oppressed Become Oppressors Eight hundred Oglala Sioux from the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota are serving in Iraq. Unemployment at Pine Ridge exceeds 80 percent. Alcohol and drug abuse are epidemic. The general health and education status lags behind many Third World countries. I’ll often get panhandled on the streets by destitute souls without homes or food. They sleep under the freeway, and eat at a mission. Most are “Indians,” some of whom left Pine Ridge to try for better lives in the white man’s city. Meanwhile, others from the reservation are risking improvised explosive devices in Iraq to facilitate the same theft of someone else’s land and resources that made Native American existence a trail of tears to begin with. There are no tumbleweeds or coyotes in the badlands north of Baghdad, but otherwise it’s an old, familiar, sad story. When Will They Ever Learn? A young couple has their first, precious baby. With boundless love in their hearts, they watch as it grows, becoming a toddler, then a pre-schooler. It’s a treasured time of Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and alphabet sing-a-longs on Sesame Street. Kindergarten follows, then later grades and real learning. Soon the child brings home books, reads stories, does math. Gold stars reward good performance. Mom and Dad are so proud. Middle school comes next, along with team sports. How great it is to be a kid having fun in America! In high school, first love and a first job bring new excitement to everyone. The child is doing well scholastically. College is on the horizon. Moisture streams down both parents’ faces as they watch a diploma being presented to the light of their lives at graduation. The child has grown into a young adult with great promise. Acting on a sincere sense of service, the graduate joins the National Guard. It’s only part-time duty, and it will bring the reward of helping the community during emergencies such as hurricanes or floods. But when the natural disasters arrive, an unnatural disaster keeps Guard members from being there to assist. A dishonest, malicious president has launched a dreadful war of choice in the Middle East. National Guard units are sent abroad for a lie about weapons of mass destruction that never existed. One by one, and increasingly in groups, young American Guardsmen and women start dying, the victims of people with guns and bombs who simply want foreign soldiers out of their sacred land. One day the front doorbell rings at the home of the youngster who was happily playing backyard games not that many years ago. Two men in uniforms tell the mother, who is trembling and weeping even before a single word is uttered, “We regret to inform you . . ." She screams. On the television in the living room, a smug, smirking man at a podium talks about “honoring those who’ve fallen” by “staying the course” until “complete victory” is achieved. But that can’t happen, for there is no honor in pursuing a misrepresented endeavor that’s destined to fail. In a few days, Mom and Dad will have their child’s entire life flash before their flowing eyes in the few moments it takes to lower a coffin six feet beneath a cemetery‘s manicured lawn. Meanwhile, across town, another young person prepares to leave for the battlefield. And at the local hospital, new parents beam as they marvel over their just-born infant. A muted radio on the bedside table plays an oldie from decades past: “When will they ever learn? When will they ever learn?Dennis Rahkonen of Superior, Wisconsin, urges everyone to help guarantee a decisive turnout for street protests marking the third anniversary of the Iraq war, on March 19.

March 19 protest the war ping!

The Third Anniversary of the War and Occupation of Iraq. March 18 & 19 - International Days of Action Against the War http://www.troopsoutnow.org/flyers/m18leafletny.pdf Free nations are peaceful nations. Free nations don't attack each other.

The Mexico analogy is great.
No, but Red China has Panama, Venezuela and Nicaragua. Do you think this is a laughing matter too?
nobody suggested that this is a laughing matter. and yet you accused someone of it. Why did you do that? do you support this war against Iraq? Are you glad that so many American soldiers and others are being destroyed through depleted uranium? Do you support our troops? Do you want to bring our troops home? Do you support national sovereignty? Shouldn't a democratically electred government make the laws and the policies of the American nation? And isn't it true that the same is true for Iraq?
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind.
As long as there is a single US soldier, sailor or airman in Iraq I support doing whatever is necessary for them to complete whatever missions are assigned them. Anything to the contrary including your persistent bitching just kills Americans. Let them do their job and stay out of their way. After it is over you can rant, demonstrate naked, move to Medina or change things as you see fit. I did not notice the rabid stance of any of you left wing protesters when Christians were being slaughtered in Yugoslavia. Your boy Klintoonia was at it and you loved it. The hypocrisy reeks. Besides Yugoslavia saved lives, islam MURDERED 3000 people burned to death slowly, torches jumping from a quarter mile high to go splat or ground up between girders. Whine about the poor poor muslims all you want...and go join them if you like....after our troops have finished what they signed on, proudly swore, and were trained to do.
Your ignorance about the posters on this forum is amazing. Almost all of us are former GOPers or libertarians who voted Republican or at least conservative our entire lives. Since Dubai Dubya is no conservative, we could not vote for him in 2004. Many here were dumb enough, myself included to have voted for him in 2000. Previously we screamed loudly about Clinton on FR and lucianne. We are shocked that so few conservatives are screaming about Dubai Dubya. Today we find ourselves allied with many liberals in the fight to remove the traitors in Congress and the WH. Today we are willing to stand next to liberals at antiwar protests for a war that is nothing but a scheme to make money for Poppy and his friends. The NeoCon/ZioNazi agenda in Iraq does NOTHING to secure America, but rather is making billions of new enemies for America while weakening the morale of our troops, military structure and economy. All the while our old enemy, Red China is laughing softly in the background, hahaha (have you seen the video HaHaHa?), raking in our high-tech intellectual property and $$, owning our debts, biding their time. And Uncle Prescott is there, directing traffic. Anyone who supports this war is an enemy of the troops, America and not a patriot. They just haven't figured it out yet, or they are willing, paid accomplices or Karl Rove and his very successful propaganda machine. With Dubai Dubya's latest poll numbers, Rove's success appears to be temporary. Let's see if the NeoCommies can manage another Pearl Harbor like event, as they talked about openly well before 9/11. Another Reichstag Fire might bring those poll numbers right up.

Thank you!
agree with 80% of your points...busy btalk later Cheers, Brer'
Why don't you go over to Iraq? With a bit of luck, you'd get your useless neocon ass sent to Hell where you belong :) Now, crawl back in your neocon sewer and die.
How can I vote for you as President in 2008?
After a shooting spree, they always want to take the guns away from the people who didn't do it. I sure as hell wouldn't want to live in a society where the only people allowed guns are the police and the military. - William S Burroughs
:) thanks, that's very sweet

I don't believe you. Wakeup man!, Panama uses the USD$$$ as their currency. China has Panama??? This assertation seems stupid.
This proves something, and it is not complementary to your way of thought.
The Panama Canal is in fact in the yellow hands of the red chinese, bellies!

You are seriously projecting the fantasy that you seem to live. "Your boy Klintoonia was at it and you loved it. " Something is the matter with your facilities. Or you just want to play the Dems V. Pubs card. Ain't gonna fly with this crowd. Try it with Aunt Millie, not here Brer'.
And that is an increadible fact.
I got drunk and stood on the streetcorner screaming "I'm not Herbert".

Sending Americans to Iraq kills Americans. By the way, you are young enough to enlist. Why arn't you in Iraq? Are you a typical GOPer who prefers to send other people's kids to entertain you on Fox News? What if everyone served their country like Bush, Cheney, Perle, Wolfowitz, Limbaugh, O'Reilly ..... and you. We wouldn't even have an army. Go show us you are not a hypocrite and enlist.
With a bit of luck, you'd get your useless neocon ass sent to Hell where you belong :) Now, crawl back in your neocon sewer and d What a pleasant personality you have...and such intellect.
It is quite complementary ...and I thank you for your compliment.
Want me to pull up a few of your goonish quotes for comparison? I won't have to look very far.
OK Brer', Looking foreward to your insightful comments.
Here you go. Cheap hate and mindless sarcasm. I can find a lot more if you want. All you need is H2O2. It is cheap. 4 Bottles for a dollar at Dollar Tree. Shoot it up your nose for most anything. If that doesn't work, pour a tumbler full and drink it. This is proven to cure sterility, syphilis, ingrown toenails, hair loss, mental illness and constipation of the brain. Go for it folks.
Go for it folks. A proven fabricator.
Just another hate filled, over the top mischaracteriazation of a point validly raised by a member of this board. Brer' in his infinite wisdom sees fit to mock the person prior to even giving them a fair hearing. What an ignorant oaf.
Brer' you come off as a real numbnuts. You need to find a junior college and socialize yourself a little. Get a shred of education under your belt before mouthing off.

I was never sure what an "oaf" actually was, but it sure seems to be the correct appalation here.
I like being called oaf, it free me from bigger lies.

It's like an "oat" except that it's big, hairy and dumb and probably smells like stale beer.
You're always thinking about old guys who bust their guitars.
Dakmar is Todd 3 over on PL. Don't tell him I told you that.
anarchy...in the cities!
