Okay, no excuses, almost 2 straight weeks without a post has to be the biggest gap in writing since some certain girl decided to break our hearts and leave us sitting at the airport with nobody to pick up. Its not my fault though, I’ve been working, drinking, and apparently suffering from a rough case of miopantitis. Plus, if I write posts for more than 11 minutes my car and computer will just explode. *cough* Ohh, sorry I said I wouldn’t make up any excuses.None the less its been a good week. Money is being saved at a rapid pace (thanks to temporary and casual employment – One day I will land a real job, I swear!) but nobody is letting me buy a PS2. Well I could buy a PS2 myself now, but I was under the impression that people were willing to go halves! Its not my fault that they are still on the dole!!! Its rainy weather, its PS2 weather God-Damnit!!
Right now I’m re-watching Australian Prime Minister John Howard’s press club speech about the spanking of Iraq, and right now I say ‘GO FOR IT JOHNNY’. Sadaam is a weaselly little bastard who’s been a thorn in the side of America’s world domination for far too long now, and although I do have fears of American world domination (come on, lets not kid around, we know how arrogant the yanks are, of course they want to take over the world), I think the pressing issues with Iraq and North Korea are far more alarming. Iraq is a rogue state that can’t be trusted with chemical weapons, ballistic missiles, the supply of oil, or your hotmail password. Iraq must be stopped or else the world will see September 11, 2001 all over again, except this time on a different date of course. I accept that the ignorant and those in the media (perhaps they are one and the same) want to see evidence, some sort of proof that there is a direct link between Iraq and terrorism, but ultimately isn’t that a little redundant? I mean, derrr! Yes, Sadaam will want to keep the bulk of his weapons to himself (he is a greedy little bastard after all) but if he ever gets a couple spare chemical weapons up his sleeve (and he will if the U.N. let him blindly do what he wishes), then there is no question that weapons of mass destruction will soon be found on eBay on offer to the highest bidding terrorist.
And what is the deal with the French, German’s and Russians?? Okay, I can understand the French, it is there prerogative to cowardly run arse-wards away from conflict - do we need to remind them of WWII?? But the German’s and the Russians not wanting to fight? That’s like Helen not wanting to sleep with random dudes and cheat on her boyfriend! When that happens you’ve got to be certain that Helen, the German’s and the Russian’s are all up to something – and I’ve got a feeling that none of them are wearing pants.
Lets face facts my yellow-bellied friends. War is upon us whether we like it or not. Despite Koffe’s greatest efforts, asking Iraq ever sooo nicely to do the right thing just ain’t gunna work. Iraq is a threat, you’d be a naïve and foolish bitch if you didn’t believe that weapons of mass destruction will make it through to terrorist cells and that Iraq didn’t have a part in it. Even vicariously this is a problem. If neighbouring rogue nations notice Iraq getting away with the production of chemical and biological weapons then three guesses as to what they are going to start flogging off? Its just like that loverboy song, ’Weapons of Mass Destruction and Sadaam Hussain just don’t splice’.
I had a different post written up earlier, but John Howard’s address to the Australian public was just far too important to let slip. The sad fact remains that the ignorant, dirty, and uneducated hippies among us will not be swayed by Johnny’s powerful and moving speech. Our own Mr. Prime Minister summated the entire issue to perfection and yet the blatantly obvious reality of the situation will still slip by the bleeding-hearts who believe we should all hold hands, sing kuumbyarh, and pray that love will bring peace across the world. Wake up dickheads before your blown off your gum-tree by a fucking great big mushroom cloud. That’s the reality we all will face if this issue isn’t aggressively addressed.
