Oh company of al-Ba'th, you pride of lions, Oh pinnacle of pride and of inherited glory, Advance, bringing terror, to a certain victory And resurrect the time of al-Rashid in our land! We are a generation who give all and toil to the utmost. - Shafiq Abdul Jabar Al-Kamali, Iraqi poet |
The Thief of Baghdad
I'm sure we've all noticed how the left has a much better sense of humor than the right. This is of course only natural. Satire is the weapon of the rebel, not the establishment, and as Ray Bradbury points out in Something Wicked This Way Comes, evil hates nothing more than to be ridiculed. So when the war criminal and neo-conservative puppet George W. Bush visits "Great" Britain this week, I'm certain he'll be outraged to see posters like this:
This is funny on so many levels. Bush really did attack Baghdad, and he really is a thief - doubly so. He's stolen both the Iraqi oil and the office he claims to hold. He does whatever he pleases, without any consideration for international law, or even common standards of decency. He'll grab whatever third world nation his business friends finds it in the "national" interest to incorporate into his empire - and we can't stop him. But while it's ok, almost a duty, to laugh at posters like this, we must not forget the serious message underneath. Bush should more properly be known as the Butcher of Baghdad - calling him a thief is an insult to thiefs. As the principled Labor mayor of London Ken Livingstone points out, George W. Bush is the .. greatest threat to life on this planet that we've most probably ever seen. .. I don't formally recognise George Bush because he was not officially elected. So we are organising an alternative reception for everybody who is not George Bush. .. The American agenda is sweeping everything before it, and although it's not perfect, the EU is better on environmental issues. It's a less rapacious form of capitalism. I'm not sure I agree with him about the EU - an übernationalist Fortress Europe, exploiting its neighbours while keeping all the wealth to itself - but it's certainly better than the US. Almost everything is. And on foreign policy issues the EU isn't all that bad. Its support of Saddam Hussein will go into history as one of the brave and morally prescient deeds of the decade. That's more than can be said about the Thief of Baghdad.

This is brilliant [..]. My hats off to you all. You should do [..] Michael Moore where he talks about the US [..]. Good job. [This comment had lies in it. I've made a few corrections. -cm 18/11] The Commissar | 2003-11-21 02:18 | Link Da, Comrade Medvedsilnyn, Criminal Recationary Bush not merely threat to life on this planet, but to earth itself, the continents, down to the core. Even the entire Solar System. maybe even the known universe. Comrade Arkadovitch | 2003-11-21 10:13 | Link Brilliant Article, Medvedsilnyn! I also agree with your policy on [correcting] dangerous and reactionary posts to your Open and Well Thought Out debate forum. [Comment corrected 21/11 -cm] Der Meister | 2003-11-25 23:35 | Link That Bush, what a naughty man he is. One can almost see his capitalist supporters salivating at the prospect of more Oil, as they plan (undoutably) to continue the conquest of the OIl rich middle east. The search for terrorists "obviously" has nothing to do with it, and as such is merely an attempt to oppress the common man both in the first world, and in the middle east.
