With mainstream media, such as
William M. Arkin in the Washington Post and
Keith Olbermann and Joe Scarborough on MSNBC, taking
up my emphasis on the moronic and fascist character of
the Bush regime, the gates are open for
Democrats to begin the task of bringing to an end
the pointless, costly, and illegal war that is doing
America`s cause so much damage and that is strongly
opposed by a majority of Americans.
A no-brainer. So what did the
Democrats do? They sent out an appeal that we stop
hunters from shooting
Alaska`s gray wolves from
airplanes.
Shooting defenseless creatures from
the air is murder, whether it is wolves killed by
hunters or hapless civilians in Iraq, Afghanistan,
Lebanon, Gaza and Palestine who are strafed and bombed
by US and Israeli aerial warriors.
Why are Democrats more concerned
about hunters` crimes against wolves than they are about
the US and Israeli governments` crimes against
civilians?
Can we take seriously the
Democrats` concern with Alaskan wolves when Democrats
voted overwhelmingly to support Israel`s massacre of
Lebanese women and children and the Bush regimes`
massacre of tens of thousands of Afghan and Iraqi
civilians?
What are we to make of a party
whose heart bleeds for wolves, but not for people.
According to the Democrats` appeal,
more than 550 wolves have been shot in unsporting
actions from the air. One gets the impression that
military aviators also see it as sport when they gun
down thousands of civilians on the ground below.
The reason for the Democrats`
impotence is known to us all. The party is owned lock,
stock and barrel by AIPAC just as is the Republican
Party. As long as AIPAC clings to its belief that
policies that overthrow secular Middle Eastern
governments and replace them with Islamic clerics are
good for Israel, the Bush and Olmert regimes will
continue the war crimes for which they are despised.
