Most ironic and at the same stupid statement is given by Australian's PM

A friend of mine, a white american, sent me his opinion about this:

This response is a little editorial reflection. Hopefully it will not disrupt anyone's peace or Taqwah. It might be considered inflammatory.

Most ironic and at the same stupid statement is given by Australian's PM:

"Australian Prime Minister, John Howard, said It's not plausible, it's not based on anything other than a house to house survey."

How would these presidents and prime ministers know what's plausible? Where in the world would Bush get the information by which he refutes the study? Did some master deceiver like Karl Rove whisper this in Bush's ear, or has Bush's "gut" been talking to him again? Many of us are very alarmed at how easily Bush can simply believe whatever he feels like believing--scientific study be damned.

IMO (and I am not alone in this), these politicians have been blinded by their own ambition all along, and this self-blinding has been purposeful. They and their staffs have committed whatever strength their minds have to refusing to see reality -- or else they simply do not care about reality and have completely given their souls over to the shameless pursuit of money and power.

In our supreme arrogance and foolishness, we do not keep track of dead Iraqis, and since General Tommy Franks made this American policy into public knowledge three years ago, now the scientists have investigated it instead. In the Bush administration, at least, people who have tried to bring reality to this crowd has been either pushed out and publicly ridiculed or simply ignored. What is so regrettable for the American people is that too many have been willing to continue believing in the government's propaganda. IMO, if the American people were as brave and as moral as they think they are, they would demand to get an entirely credible report on all the damage that has happened in Iraq and not be satisfied with assurances from the government.

If reason and facts fail to penetrate the minds of the American people, events will succeed--eventually. As we say, "what goes around, comes around." This just means that the universal laws of retribution cannot be outwitted by mere humans. I am not suggesting that angry Muslims will be the vehicle of this retribution. Many other things can make willful denial impossible. For example, the staggering amount of debt this administration is creating so that the very few can make large amounts of money by obscene methods will surely damage many. It's already too late to prevent the damage, but perhaps further damage can be limited--but only if Americans wake up. In comparison to economic breakdown, one relatively small but morally significant cost will be the large numbers of wounded and psychologically crippled vets serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Veterans Administration is already overwhelmed, and the money-loving neocons will not be willing to commit enough money for the proper treatment for these disposable warriors in the future nor for the psychologically and genetically damaged Iraqi people. That is a prediction you can "take to the bank."

It has just been announced that the Pentagon plans for the US military to stay in Iraq through 2010? That's insane. The odds of this actually happening seem very small

At the moment, I am trying to find out some credible science on how much radiation has been spread around Iraq by the pervasive use of depleted uranium munitions and how much genetic damage has occurred. The seeds of cancer and birth defects will continue to be planted and to ripen for many, many years into the future. Already some male and female vets have decided not to have children because they know they have been genetically damaged. It's diabolical.
