| I once saw a strangely prophetic TV programme. The basic plot was that the most dangerous man on the planet had gone missing, and the American government set about attacking everywhere to destroy him. They ended up destroying half of the world to stop him, working their way through each and every country. You know what the programme was? An episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus, and the most dangerous man on the planet was named Mr Neutron. Now substitute Mr Neutron for Osama bin Laden, and replace Monty Python's Flying Circus with the term, "US foreign policy", and you have roughly an update on George Bush's personal car fill up, the quite ridiculously titled, War on Terror. Now, according to George Dubya, I am a terrorist. That's right, liberal, USA loving me! But seriously, he said that anyone who disagrees with his current policies on terrorism is a terrorist. In that case, I'm glad to be that kind of terrorist. But I will not be compared to the usual kind of terrorists. You know, the ones who are ACTUALLY terrorists. Not necessarily because I oppose their morals or beliefs. Well I do, but that isn't the point. The reason I don't want to to be compared to the terrorists of today isn't because they kill thousands of innocent people for their own stupid causes, after all, I'm British and British people have been doing it for years. The reason I don't want to be associated with them is because they're moronic, and I'm not. Now when I say moronic, I don't mean readers-of-The-Sun, style moronic. After all, a lot of terrorist masterminds are pretty clever, which is usually why they tell other people to detonate themselves in Israeli diners instead of doing it themselves. When I describe terrorists as moronic, I mean the type of moronic that would compel a sane person to fly a plane with himself in it into a building because he's told to. THAT moronic. I completely sympathize with the Palestinian cause 100%. Technically, they are no more terrorists to the Israelis than the French Resistance were to the Nazis. Palestine was invaded by Israel, and is now occupied by Israel. Palestinians have lost their homeland to a people who weren't there a hundred years ago, but claimed a right to it because their ancestors lived there a few millenia ago. Imagine if the Italians came over and said, "Oh, by the way, Britain is ours 'cus the Romans owned it a thousand and a half years ago." Would you accept that? How about if I took an army and invaded Africa to try and conquer it, because my ancestors evolved there, so I have an ancestral right to that land? Would the Africans accept that? No, they wouldn't. Neither would the Americans if Tony Blair tried to take back the 13 Colonies. And the Palestinians are trying to beat off the Israelis. Unfortunately, Israel bombs the shit of any army they try and make up. So all they've got is a small resistance movement. They bomb Israel instead. But each time they do the Israelis have an annoying habit of lobbing a few tank rounds on women and children. And now Israel has inflamed the already tense Middle East by lobbing a few scuds into Syria, a neighbouring country (coincidently Islamic), because, despite the complete lack of evidence, the "terrorists" who attacked an Israeli resturant the other week were supposedly trained near Damascus in Syria. Now obviously Syria cannot fight back. Israel is armed to the teeth by American-made nuclear missiles, and I'm sure that they would have no problem using them on a load of Arabs. So instead, Syria rightly took their complaint to the UN. Now, of course, no country in the UN disagreed with the Syrian position, and a resolution was about to be passed against Israel (not that it would do any good. Since conquering Palestine, Israel has had over 50 UN resolutions made against them and they've ignored every one, with the backing of...you guessed it, good old Uncle Sam). But someone had a problem with it. Can you guess who? George W. Bush refused to speak against the Israeli action in Syria. In fact, he actually said that Syria was harbouring terrorists! Oh, well it's ok then, all is forgiven (got anything to do with the fact that a lot of the US electorate is Jewish per chance?). So welcome to the new world order. The immediate hitlist has probably already been finalised, no doubt with Iran next as they have just been threatened by America's bullies. Then, I'm certain Syria stands to suffer. They are slowly working their way through the entire planet. So back to the terrorists. Firstly, it is completely stupid to blow yourself up in Israel. If the French Resistance had gone around just detonating themselves, I doubt that they would have lasted very long. It is even more stupid, since each time they do blow themselves up, Israel kills a few more Palestinians, which is also stupid, as the Palestinians just blow themselves up some more to counter it. Maybe that's Israel's final aim? To get every person in the world to blow themselves up until there are only Jews and Americans left. That could be Bush's aim too, otherwise why would he have attacked Iraq? I said before the war began that all the Iraq War would do is piss off a hell of a lot of Muslims and make them hate the West that little bit more. Saddam never had anything to do with terrorism. Then again, maybe George Bush just doesn't care. Maybe he knows just as I do, that terrorism isn't actually that much of a threat. Maybe he also knows, just as we do, that September 11th is not about to happen again. Maybe he knows, just as we do, that he can do whatever he likes as long as he plays up the dangers of bin Laden and fools the American people into believing what he says. Meanwhile, the American Empire is expanding, and no one is any the wiser. And Israel keeps doing what it wants, and is responsible for all this, with US help and full support in the name of the War on Terror: |

| So while so many people follow George Bush's pointed finger to the East in search of new "terrorist" targets, I'll be looking to the West, across the Atlantic, at the real terrorists. The country that uses terror on a grand scale to conquer entire nations and build an Empire. A country that supports Israel, a nuclear power that causes more death than Saddam ever did, and invades soverign nations without provocation with the backing of the US. And I'll be wondering where they'll bomb next in search of their Mr Neutron. Is it any wonder Osama hates America? Just look at what they do, look at what they've caused. Now tell me they're any better than the people who bombed New York and Washington. Go on, just you fucking try. |
