America's Wars of Choice: Keeping Track of the Score

E-mail Print PDF

Keeping Track of the ScoreThe U.S. is trying to maintain a perfectly reasonable occupation by force of arms in some countries that really interest us a lot, and the people won't stop hating us -- why was it, again? Oh, right:  They hate us for our freedoms, according to the junior Bush.  Pays to keep track.

Has nothing to do with our routine treatment of the native population in all these places we go and so actively adore, spots we must absolutely have as our own -- nothing to do with the regular interactions we have with the people we find already there, at home, in all these places that catch our corporeal and corporate fancy.

Drones, snipers, laser-targeted bombs:  Everything go boom, everything mists a bright, oxygenated red, everything fall down!

The latest incendiary round to go through the entire population -- a bullet felt by every soul now breathing and alive -- in Afghanistan?  Our military burned some copies of the Islamic holy book, the Koran.

God help us all if the troops urinated on it first, just for old time's sake, to continue some supremely idiotic pledge stunt or to keep alive some timely and toxic tradition by our troops tossed all over the planet -- it's been a few weeks since our last high-moral outrage.
