Watching CNN today as Marines surround Fallujah, as Americans free Iraqis by surrounding them with razorwire and taking away their press, why does America look so goddamn scared? What is it that the Neocons need to pacify them, if they can be pacified?
Muslims terrify neocons because their value system is a direct challenge to America's. They know all about hard work and wealth and the American way, but they're not buying in. The answer? We 'make' Muslims adopt our value system! It's not going to happen overnight. But once we've kept them in poverty for a few hundred fucking thousand years and stepped on their heads as many times, they'll get the picture.
Muslims terrify neocons because they haven't rolled over when we wave our dollars and come looking for oil. Why not? Because 'terrorists' are intimidating the honest Walmart-seeking flower-throwing Iraqis (the ones right there, next to the dub-yem-dees). They're killing themselves to hurt us, they must be crazy! Or--just maybe--they're desperate, and most Americans wouldn't know complete desperation if it bit them in their flabby collective ass.
And Muslims scare neocons because the Koran says it's OK to wage war against infidels. The Bible says no such thing, and so the neos must find all kinds of sneaky ways to do the same thing but call it virtue. So because their book says so, they all must believe it. Again, keep our feet on their heads and they will see the light, and one day join us in sanctimony.
So America deserves to get its ass kicked. Don't want to see anyone die, not Iraqis, and not 'our' soldiers over there destroying America's good will one dead Iraqi at a time. But I'm an American and so are you, and it's our tax dollars that are paying for this illegal, immoral, disgusting invasion. It's our tax dollars which are bringing home young men and women in body bags or without legs, young people who have been told to "be all they can be" and instead and are being used as tools of evil, and paying the price for it.
America will have to find out the hard way it doesn't have a monopoly on pride.
