  • Open Season on Evil Monsters? Ok...On All Evil Monsters Then---Fair Enough?

    [Read the article: Columbia to be punished for hosting the new Hitler enemy]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Clearly it is open season on the Evil Monster Mahmoud Ahmadinejad,President of Iran, in Dick Cheneys America.

    The howls of indignant outrage and sneers of contempt making this clear enough.

    One could wonder why he was not arrested at the airport and "perp walked" around New York City!

    Clearly Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is one guilty President of Iran.

    Quite the American Theatre of the Absurd all around it is.

    I looked over several photos of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad but did not see any horns coming out of his head. Was there a smell of sulfur about him perhaps?

    Well if there were any doubts about how evil Mahmoud is there was plenty of piling on going on to erase any lingering doubts.

    Dick Cheney and his warmonger pals surely were very pleased.

    The Americans should be so vigorous in picking out the faults and shortfalls amongst some of those who the Americans count as being BFF in the ME---Saudi Arabia. Israel. Egypt.

    If Scott Pelley should sit down with Ehud Olmert,Israels Prime Minister, he surely will play by the same rules? Being the open minded and fair person he no doubt is--right?

    Israeli abusive/repressive/expunging conduct in Arab Palestine and against the Arab Palestinians meanwhile continues unabated and dives ever deeper into human rights abuse and the worst of expungement methods against the Arab Palestinians.

    The Americans continue going along with Israel on this path hand in hand. The American Rule of Monsters being one that permits American condoned Monsters to run amok as they please.

    Saddam at one time was just such an American Monster. As was the Shah of Iran.Consider also Marcos,Suharto and Mobutu then as well.American backed Monsters are permitted and condoned.

    Were Iran to open its oil fields to western oil interests with no checks or balances and full exploitation mode allowed one could likely not count very many weeks or months before the Monster Iran and the Monster Mahmoud Ahmadinejad were suddenly BFF of the Americans in WashDC too.

    Americans do deal in and with Monsters.Depends on the Money Involved.

    The hipocrisy of mauling Iran yet embracing Israel astounds.

    At Zmag.org/Znet site are two entries worthy of taking a look at being the bashing of Iran or President Ahmadinejad is so easy for some Americans to be doing.

    The first is an entry written by Saree Makdisi and is titled 'The War On Gaza's Children' dated 9/23/2007.

    Here is a short excerpt from 'War on Gaza's Children'--

    "The idea," said Dov Weisglass,an Israeli goverment advisor,"is to put the Palestinians on a diet,but not make them die of hunger."

    This comment coming from an Israeli Government official.

    Not from an Iranian Government official.

    So where is the American outrage and indignation now?

    This is called hipocrisy.

    The other entry was written by Avi Issacharoff and is titled 'Israels New Roadblocks' dated 9/24/2007.

    Both these entries found at zmag.org./Znet site. Both under the September 24 entries.

    One could easily be taken in and blinded by both the Americans and Israelis regarding who these two nations desire to label or cast as being the Monsters in the World today.

    But it needs to be understood much better than currently is the case that in the world today the Americans and the Israelis are being as monstrous as any nation.

    Hitlerianism is alive and well in United States and Israel.

    The prevailing militarism and authoritarianism,abuse of truth,facts and human beings and ongoing conduct of aggression the Americans and Israelis pursue in ME surely qualifying as virulent modern and current times Hitlerianism.
