So sick of war
The Australian Open tennis, bathed in that New Year sunshine, provides a nice diversion from the new standard scary-nasties living in a billion TVs. More relaxing to watch the cheering for Cypriot Greek Baghdatis than to hear news from that eponymous place.
The eponymous place will take years to de-US and demilitarize. Every fuleno that, which makes you wonder about alternative ways US President Bush might have confronted the pervert charade that Uncle Sam secretly loves being in Iraq and is, by osmosis, forcing Ameri-enemies to work as murderers and maimers in the course of a mission from Allah.
If hypothetically you're the master of say a television station bent, for whatever reason, on making Bush look like a muppet and a 10th Dan vampire simultaneously, then there may not be much the President could reasonably do to change your ways, though Clinton is reputed to have tirelessly worked the media and Reagan handled the arrows aimed at him; surely a president has enough hardware at his disposal to concoct evolving strategies for image control.
Somebody should, one suspects, have told the incumbent long ago that the 9-5 plus ranch holiday thing wouldn't work out. Electors probably prefer to see some sweat worthy of their main man, their mainest of men. Clinton pollsters would have been on to that. Sure, many voted for Bush precisely because he was not-Clinton and not-Machiavelli, but that doesn’t make it hurt to have a lot of white hair and a little slick.
Bush has already committed to a major Iraq troop reduction program. That fact may as well be cranked out long and hard and at top volume, for the mayhemists are rejoicing in this 'evidence of victory' on Arab television stations. The rejoicers are precisely why 3,000 New Yorkers were boiled alive one day，and why Bush can't get the soldiers out of Iraq any faster, not if stable democratic government is an aim.
Unfortunately the nutters and lemmings look like they're going to be with us for a long time. Stable democratic government in Iraq may not be possible, not at a reasonable price, not in the short term. Bush may as well get the message out on this, too.
Iraq looks like being but a battle within a war. So far the conduct of that war, by oil-financed and bloodthirsty would-be world and virgin dominators, has relied on having strong televisual propaganda in - rather than on - their recidivist corner.
