(U.S. Presidents’
Day)
We are all very worried about what Bush is
doing. God help the American people, who are losing their freedom. The American
dream is becoming an international nightmare. It seems that the only thing
that stands between Peace and War is the public opinion of the American
people.
We all know there is still no evidence of any
weapons in Iraq that could threaten the U.S....in Pakistan and North Korea
yes... but in Iraq, no; so why the hurry? We also know that currently the
U.S. can only provide 45% of the petroleum that the Americans need to
sustain their "way of life". And by the year 2020 they will only be able to
provide 25-30%...the rest must come mostly from the Persian Gulf.
(Statistics based on Report # DOE/EIA-0383;
Released: January 9, 2003 ). Does anybody remember the
Carter Doctrine, in his "Let our position be absolutely clear: an attempt by
any outside force to gain control of the Persian Gulf region will be regarded as
an assault on the vital interests of the United States of America. And such an
assault will be repelled by any means necessary, including military
force." Why?
If the U.S. takes control of Iraq they will
guarantee America's consumer lifestyle for one more decade…. and if the U.S.
were to control Saudi Arabia, they could guarantee another 1-2
decades...but that is it. The day will come when there is no more
oil.
Please don’t be fooled by U.S. broadcasted
news. The United States government must have the support of its people to
carry out this act of terror, and bombarding the public with incredibly
believable fear tactics can have overwhelming effects.
When the U.S. government lies to its
people to perpetuate its empire, Democracy dies in "Land of the
Free"....
Where is the justice when the "American
Dream" is sustained by inflicting nightmares upon the rest of the
world?
But there is still time. Time to change the way
we consume. Time to change the way the government runs us. Time to stop this war
and be free. But Freedom does not start where another’s
ends.
War begets unimaginable
consequences.
