War Writings

So it's been forever (in the technosphere that is) since I've posted, and that's mainly because I've been homeless since April and it's finally getting to me. Living hand-to-mouth, and sleeping on couches or in my car, and showering at the gym (gotta love that cheap Bally's membership I acquired years back), and washing my clothes whenever I can collect enough soda cans to recycle and get some cash back (at least I'm doing my part for the environment -- recycling is the next best thing to getting the fuck off of fossil fuels).

To entertain myself, I've been reading a lot of TIME magazine, Rolling Stone and Business Week... and James Ellroy's AMERICAN TABLOID (jesus christ, what a twisted, engrossing, stylistically insane book but probably the most illuminating fiction on how white people in the late 50s and earlyl 60s viewed Blacks and Hispanics (in the form of Cubans).

TIME and Rolling Stone have been covering the Debacle In Iraq with some fascinating reportage -- case in point last week's TIME had this article called Baghdad Diary, and man was it fucking interesting. The opening info about just how you have to be part of the lunatic fringe just to enter the Iraqi capital by air will make you rethink whatever you previously thought about the country-wide conflagration.

See the thing about this war -- what makes it most odd, fucked-up and out of control is that we live in a world where information, documentation, and transmission travels Gigahertz speeds, and yet the truth at the center of this conflict seems to be escaping just about every goddamn person on the planet. Why is Shi'a really fighting against Sunni, and how in the hell did Saddam -- a Sunni -- get to run rampant over the overwhelming Shi'a majority. How weak are those people? You have to be the worst cunt-laping faggot not to be able to express your differences without resorting unapologetic mass murder.

Otherwise a solution could be proffered -- whether it's Sectarian violence or al-Qaeda still trippin' or the "time-to-settle-old-score" fuckers, the violence in tha part of the world is never ending. I think they would have been better off, if Hussein was still in power or if he was assassinated. Full-scale invasion for reigme change just doesn't seem to work. When it happened in Germany, the country was split in two - Japan survived any kind of obscene breakdown of civil order because the country is so homogenous. Israel invade Lebanon in 82 and the Palestinian terrorities earlier and what in God's name transpired there? The entire world is fed shit on a stick, because of that continued conflict.

With all the IEDs and sniping and milita murder marches Iraq seems to be doing okay in Kurdistan. Yeah, that little corner in the North that the US had no-fly zones since the end of the first Gulf War. The Kurds have got their shit together, and they're dealing with the BOOLSHIT to the South as best as they can. I don't know if the Kurds are Muslim Arabs or even Arabs, but I don't think have the same inexplicable cultural issues as the rest of Muslim world. Why is the Shi'a vs Sunni debate still such an issue that has to express itself with such violence after multiple centuries. It's like if the Protestants and the Catholics were still waging unspeakable crimes against each other four CENTURIES after Martin Luther! [if you don't know -- and I don't know all the details or facts -- the issue between Sunni and Shi'a has something to do with who is the true inheritor of Muhammud's legacy. Who really gives two-tugs on a dead dogs dick?]

I don't think Arabs are interpreting Islam correctly at all! I really don't. And I don't give a fuck if is "their religion" -- it's supposed to be a system of tolerance and forgiveness.

Arabs trip me the fuck out, 'cause the guy in the TIME article was saying that pumping rounds into the stratosphere from an AK-47 is a time-honored Arab traditional sign of celebration... uh, the AK has only been around for sixty some years -- if you can pick up such and absurd-ass tradition, then you can figure the fuck out what's the deal with the Shi'a/Sunni clash.

It was written somewhere the the Debacle in Iraq is and will be the worst possible foreign policy mistake that United States will ever make -- short of using a nuclear weapon in Mexico to keep immigrants from coming across the Rio Grande!

I bet in five years the fighting is still going on. I bet in five years there would have been some sort of awful civil war in Iraq that tears the country into four or five punk-ass little city-states in the Babylonian desert. I bet in five years, American troops will still be dying for the sand-niggers who don't want them there in the first place. I bet in five years the Western world will have achieve a strong level of Green energy sourcing and other alternatives to fossil fuel that the supreme fuck-shit those goes on with these bitch-meat Arabs, that the Middle East won't mean shit to world energy prices. I bet in five years, Arab terrorist will destroy a few more US airplanes. I bet in five years Osama bin Laden will still be issuing video tapes (eventhough everyone else will have switched over to completely non-moving parts image acquisition) in caves in Tora Bora, and be thumbing his nose at the US.

I bet in five years, this blog will still exist. Only I won't be writing it!
