Platt:
>>Or you can depose dictators and bring the light of democracy,
>>freedom, individual rights and dynamic free markets to people who have
>>never known such goodness.
o my god Platt. I hear elevator music playing in the background. o
look there are little children skipping and throwing flower petals
along the path to the trickling brook where the deer graze nearby
unafraid. Hasn't the middle east been transformed, my friends, by our
kind and benevolent and unselfish acts of kindness and mercy and love?
Why we're off to India and Africa next, but no, wait. Hark. We
should have gone there first, you say? Why? Wait I can't hear you.
What are you saying? Dire needs? Much internal conflict and strife
and what? No oil. Well, we're sorry, we have other pressing
priorities, don't we. Why look, darling. There's blacks dying in our
own backyard. Let us help them. But wait, should we help them?
Would $2000 a piece be enough, hon? But we're working hard, aren't we!
Goodness, my ass. Revenge and opportunity was the flag America flew
on the day she invaded Afghanistan and then, like a mad dog, went
running into Iraq to to carry out plans for the new american century
of global imperialism.
I mean come on Platt--this was in the works at least since 1997,
waiting for its moment and it came. How stupid do you think people
are? You buds clearly state: "We need to to challenge regimes hostile
to our interests and values." If that's not imperialism and religious
persecution, I don't know what to call it. But then I'm sure you do.
Maybe "missionary" work? Or no, "spreading the light".
