.............. in spite of that, you permitted Bush to
complete his first term, and stranger still, chose him for a second term, which gave him a clear
mandate from you - with your full knowledge and consent- to continue to murder our people in Iraq
and Afghanistan.
Then you claim to be innocent! This innocence of yours is like my innocence of the blood of your
sons on the 11th - were I to claim such a thing. But it is impossible for me to humor any of you in
the arrogance and indifference you show for the lives of humans outside America, or for me to
humor your leaders in their lying, as the entire world knows they have the lion's share of that.
...Among them is the European thinker who anticipated the fall of the Soviet Union, which indeed fell.
And it would benefit you to read what he wrote about what comes after the empire in regard to the
United States of America. I also want to bring your attention that among the greatest reasons for
the collapse of the Soviet Union was their being afflicted with their leader Brezhnev, who was
overtaken by pride and arrogance and refused to look at the facts on the ground. From the first
year of the Afghanistan invasion, reports indicated that the Russians were losing the war, but he
refused to acknowledge this, lest it go down in his personal history as a defeat, even though refusal
to acknowledge defeat not only doesn't do anything to change the facts for thinking people, but also
exacerbates the problem and increases the losses. And how similar is your position today to their
position approximately two decades ago. The mistakes of Brezhnev are being repeated by Bush,
who - when asked about the date of his withdrawing of forces from Iraq - said in effect that the
withdrawal will not be during his reign, but rather, during the reign of the one who succeeds him.
And the significance of these words is not hidden.
According to Bush, this proves how "dangerous" the world is. And therefore USA has to invade Afghanistan, Iraq - kill innocent civilians and journalists and bomb people who live in fuckin caves. Years after 9/11 this video gets more coverage in Fox News than the whole of Arab media. Analysts discuss the impact of the video on the stock market!! Bush has a far more "We will destroy the great satan! BRING IT ON! " vibe than Bin Laden.
