It’s Time to Bomb New York

Like many people, I still cannot believe the arrogance and
temerity of the U.S. government and people to think that it is allowable to
fire 75 missiles at another nation's territory without any direct
proof accepted by the world community that such an action is deserved. If
so, Nicaragua, Cuba, Libya, and many other nations against whom the U.S. has
sponsored its own form of terrorism over the last 20 years
should be allowed to sneak up and bomb whatever they like in the U.S.

Worse of course is that the actions will certainly not improve the
polarized situation between the so-called "democratic" Western countries
and perceived "extremist" Islamic groups. The bombings have successfully
made the alleged (but not proven, I emphasize) terrorists as the
victims. Any retribution from them is not only warranted, expected,
but even justified at this point. Osama Bin Laden has overnight gone
from an exiled nutty Saudi to a hero.

I have heard some argue that Clinton's action was not intended to
direct attention away from the Lewinsky situation because a president
would never take the lives of American servicemen at risk when trying
to save his political skin. Bakwas! How is firing 75 missiles from
distant oceans at impoverished countries (one land-locked) risking the
lives of American servicemen? My mental image is of a bunch of
soldiers sitting on U.S. ships sunning themselves with their
Starbucks iced mochas in their hands slapping each other's backs
congratulating themselves on whipping some Muslim butt.

Is this all deep-rooted racism? Not specifically based on color,
however, one gets the sense that America views Muslims as offensive
"blackies" that need to be either painted white or removed effectively
just as a pimple is popped. News for you "whitey amreekans": popping a
pimple leaves permanent scars.

America has survived for 50 years on fighting the "Other". Communism
during the Cold War. Some argue that in order for the U.S. machine to
continue operating in its prior mode it needs a new "Other". Islam is
a perfect fit. Americans don't understand it. They think it's
weird. And hell, if it don't make no sense one might as well get rid
of it. Especially if the people following this screwy religion don't
have respect for the mighty Americans. In fact, hey why don't we throw
all these kow-towing bearded head-covered goofballs into concentration
camps. That will teach 'em.

All this makes me ill. The media has been putting a sympathetic slant
on the plight of poor Bill Clinton in the aftermath of his Lewinsky
admissions. Poor man, doesn't even get time for his relaxing vacation
at Martha's Vineyard. So sad -- how will he ever be able to let off
some sexual steam if he doesn't get time to hit the happening beaches
of Katama? Go to hell Mr. Clinton! Why don't you go to Khartoum for
your next break? I hear abject poverty has engendered a raging red light
district you might enjoy. Oh, but don't come down with any infectious
illness like gonorrhea because there ain't no antibiotics left in
Khartoum.

Although I abhor any violence, I can't help but send these messages to
other nations' leaders who have persistently been victims of U.S. state-sponsored
terrorism for U.S. cities to target:

Mr. Fidel Castro: I recommend San Diego. Full of white people, natural
beauty, naval weapons facilities, and not too many of your fellow
Cubans.

Mr. Bin Laden: Right now Martha's Vineyard is a prime
opportunity. Clinton, lots of white people, exclusivity, and hey, who
needs it anyways? Make sure you get rid of Nantucket while you're at
it.

Mr. Gaddafi: Try New York. You're pretty nutty so you might as
well. The stock market is doing pretty lousy now anyways.

Mr. Saddam Hussein: Las Vegas. Make a statement with your choice. Show
that you're against any legalized gambling of money. You'd rather
gamble lives than cash.

Mr. Nawaz Sharif: Los Alamos, New Mexico. As the world's newest
nuclear power, honor the gods of the atom bomb and get rid of the place
where all this madness started. Most importantly, I don't think you
could botch up such an easy target, right?
