Change q's to n's and it's off to war!
Thump, thump, thump go the drumbeats. The administration is tuning up the rhetorical drums for its latest folly. All the talking heads on TV are dusting off their speeches. "All options are on the table," "a serious threat," "nuclear bombs," "threat to Israel," "satellite photos show," "intelligence reports say," "a tyrant in charge," "UN sanctions" and on and on.
Evidently, our great success in Iraq has now allowed the imperial presidency of George Bush to turn to his next foe of democracy. It's time to strike up the Republican noise machine and bring the media on board because there is another country that needs to be brought into the fold of all that is right in Mr. Bush's fantasy of being king of the world.
And this one will be so much easier and less expensive. No big speeches need to be written, no new tickers for the bottom of the news screens. Just change all the q's to n's and we're off to the next in line of preemptive never ending neo-con-inspired conflicts.
Be afraid, America, because that is what wins elections in this country. That and of course the possibility that a homosexual illegal immigrant Muslim couple might move in on your block.
