N Y Times - Isis / Letter to George W Bush

My Letter to George Bush Jnr

Hey Mr G W Bush,
You started a fire in the Middle East and you left it for some one else to put out...
At least You and your Friends should fork out some money to the UN to put up some Camps in
Turkey for those poor sods who got caught up in the Resulting Lunacy that has swept the region
America has to learn that Being the only superpower means that if you break something you will pay for it
Eventually, one way or another. As you seem to have made so much money from this debacle it seems only fitting
You should be seen to fork a liitle something out to help the refugees form this great misadventure.

And as for your old political partners who also profited, Perhaps they could do with some atonement too.
Heck, Maybe it’s time to Dust off the Words of Lincoln from another great Human upheaval.

“We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.”

What Mr Lincoln was trying to say was, We are NOT an Empire of Heartless Gangsters.


PS: (You Broke it, You fix it)

Southland Times - Ottoman Juntas 2014

Posted 13th of June 2014 to the Southland Times Invercargill NZ

Reading Roger Boyes piece on the danger of backing Military Juntas and what is happening now in Iraq makes me want to point out that
For the USA, Military Juntas are way easier to deal with in medieval era nations like those in the Middle East than the assorted tribal, religious and ethnic factions.
So... The British carving up the Map of the Ottoman Empire after the First World War to divide and rule was great for the Western Powers until more recent days.
But since the Americans replaced Britain as the Global Superpower they forgot that like the British and the Ottomans Before you have to be always ready to step in
And wave a big stick around to thwart Medieval Madness, you can’t just walk away and leave them to it or you will have total anarchy. You also have to provide lots of carrots as well.

Thanks to the experimental interventions of George Bush Jnr into this crazy arena the United States of America is now overwhelmed with dead & damaged Young Men sent to try and force democracy on people who don’t even know what it is. While snatching resources. And Donald Rumsfeld manages to make himself yet another Blood Bath to Soak in.

Got any more helpful suggestions Roger Boyes?
