Reply #5: They've got our number

in Iraq and they are going to kick our butts. Iraq isn't Nicaragua. Nor is it Algeria.

The attempt to dissuade Americans from looking at the Vietnam experience is to avoid self scrutiny. This war is about us losing our democracy, just as Vietnam was. Both wars followed coup d'etats after liberal regimes threatened the social order ordained by the super rich who like to think they are the rightful rulers of this country. Machiavelli 101. To distract the public from the enemy at home, start a war abroad.

To the people who sponsor Zbig, the government is like high school student government good for a show but not for the real decision making. They don't give a damn about American ideals or the shining city on the hill. It's the bottom line baby. Democracy interferes with the bottom line. We need those lines of communication in Central Asia. In fact, we need their oil and gas as well and the weak fractured friendly governments over there are gonna give it to us. Right Zbig?

Both wars served the reactionary right wing plutocrats at home who staged coup d'etats to save themselves from all further democratic "dialectic." The wars were the further distraction from the illegitimacy and treasonous acts upon which their rule was based. Who attacked Congress with anthrax? Did the terrorist flight students' landlord's husband find a little anthrax at the office? Did a biological warfare defense contractor screw up national exit polling in 2002? Who sponsored the anthrax in the mail drill?

Things are woefully wrong at home. All the checks and balances are gone. We have a slavish corrupt legislature afraid of its own shadow that might as well let diebold and wackenhut take over the drafting of legislation. I've got an idea says the architect of Asian Empire, let's look in Algeria to see what the problem is. There was a nexus and a dynamic between the plutocrats and Vietnam which brought us catastophe. That same nexus and dynamic exists with respect to the Iraqi war. It's a cancer at home.

I like the part where he accuses the Russians of carrying Imperial baggage. What a laugh! Look who's talking, the muhajadeen puppet master who said, "we need a Pearl Harbor like event...."

You know, it isn't like Vietnam. It is much, much worse.

People like Pipes the lesser and Ledeen are so easy to peg. Zbig has everyone fooled.
