Gus > Nor does it require great imagination to foresee that if this scenario comes into being, the Arab world will become sharply polarised between Iran and Israel, and that whichever of these two sides wins, the Arabs will come out losers. That's why there aren't too many Arabs to do their dirty work. Seems they are not so stupid this time -- or so greedy. Mind you, there are always Americans available to be sacrificed. antiwar.com >>"The service members who died during this latest period fit an unchanging profile. They were mostly white men from rural areas, soldiers so young they still held fresh memories of high school football heroics and teenage escapades. Many men and women were in Iraq for the second or third time. Some were going on their fourth, fifth or sixth deployment." When the president talks to us, as he did last night, about "a year ahead that will demand more patience, sacrifice, and resolve," this is who he is mainly sacrificing. Today, in our civilized world, we are shocked when we read of the bloody rites, the human sacrifices, of the Aztecs whose priests ripped hearts, still beating, from human chests to appease their bloodthirsty gods. These were, of course, the hearts of captives. In all his fervor, George W. Bush looks ever more like an American high priest who, for his own bloody gods, is similarly ripping hearts from the chests of the living. Make no mistake, in his speech last night, he was offering up human sacrifices from the captive villages and towns of the United States on the altar of blind faith and pure, abysmal folly. <<
