The Reality Beneath the Flag Waving

by Paul Craig Roberts (excerpts)


I have made it clear in my columns that Bush supporters
are not true conservatives.

They are brownshirts with the same low intelligence
and morals as Hitler’s enthusiastic supporters.

Many Americans are so unsophisticated
that they refuse to believe anything bad about their country.
They regard acceptance of unpalatable truths as disloyalty.

This failure of American character
is why Bush has been able to get away with
- transgressions that scream out - for his impeachment
and trial as a war criminal.

It is amazing that Bush supporters think we have
a John Wayne military, when according to news reports,
recruitment problems have resulted in the military
- accepting felons,
drug users,
thugs,
low IQ high school dropouts,
and illegal Mexicans promised green cards for signing up.

Apparently, the same people who make America’s streets
unsafe for Americans make Iraqi streets unsafe for Iraqis.
In response to the declining caliber of new recruits,
some of our best troops are refusing to reenlist...................

To this day the Bush regime and the neocon nazis have not told us
the reason for their invasion of Iraq, the destruction of its towns
and infrastructure, and the slaughter of its citizens.

Every reason Bush has given has proved to be a lie.

There is no more reason for US troops to be shooting up Iraq
than to be shooting up Canada, Scotland, Holland,
Spain, Taiwan, Florida, Virginia or California.
We are killing Iraqis for no other reason than
- that they resist our invasion and occupation of their country.

It is proof of the collapse of American morals and the fallen character
of the American people that the American public
and its elected representatives in Congress refuse to rein in
the Bush regime and to hold it responsible for its monstrous crimes.

America has become a land of evil.
The rest of the world hates and despises us.
And we are going to pay a terrible price for it.
Bush’s belief that our superpower status makes us immune
to the opinion of others goes beyond hubris into insanity.
