The hero first smashes democracy in his own country (Greece), then spreads warfare and devastation through the Middle East, particularly Iraq. Eventually his own troops are considering offing him, but he manages to choke to death on a pretzel first. Inshallah. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Larry Mintz" <kabir-AT-CITENET.NET> To: <postanarchism-AT-lists.village.Virginia.EDU> Sent: Wednesday, November 10, 2004 3:08 PM Subject: [postanarchism] The Iraq War A good analogy for the Iraq war is Hermann Melvilles epic story Moby Dick Captain Ahab(President Bush) pursues the whale(Iraq) , with a vengence that took his leg(Twin Towers) at the cost of his crew and ship (US troops) Ahab just doesn't know when to quit. So far the US hasn't been nuked, but if Ahab continues on his warlike ways, this might very well happen.
