And this oil is in turn necessary as a cheap and convenient source of
energy to powering the Great Living-Standard Machinery few people
would accept to do without, when it comes to it, in this industrialised
world were precious little of what is produced, is produced by human
labour. There is a tough choice between convenience or conscience, between
body or soul. Interesting dilemma. Is blood thinner than water? How much
living standard is a regular person in the industrialised world prepared to
sacrifice for a guilty conscience? What is the current market price on
souls? Maybe they should have it listed in Financial Times, and the devil's
grinning brokers could haggle with the elected politicians at the stock
exchange.

The reason the war monglers sound like foaming lunatics and/or liars, is
that they cannot speak the truth, because the truth is too ugly to be
spoken out loud and frank. They are lying their tounges black and curly,
and they have to. Thus, surrealism rules the world.

(By all means, people in Iraq are terribly opressed; it's beyond 1984
there. Whatever puppet regime they install afterwards, it can't possibly be
worse than what already is there. But that's not the reason they shall have
a war -- it's just a little bonus for the propaganda. Noone is sending an
expensive invasion army to far away places just to be nice chaps. The New
Iraq will -- I suspect -- also not be a member of OPEC for long...)

The loudest protestors are the same people demanding living standard,
camouflaged as "equal opportunities" etc. Peculiar irony. The red cloths
are not flags, they are towels, for wiping blood from hands with. Everyone
has his own kind of greed and noone admits it.

I think caring about the masses is, sadly enough, exactly what he and Tony
Bleh and the rest are doing.

I wonder what will happen to Israel afterwards, when there is a new
bridge-head in the middle East? Will they turn their backs to Sharon and
say: "Sorry pal, but we don't need you anymore. The financial support is
withdrawn. Have a nice day with the palestinians."
