| US on the road to perdition May 14, 2008 presstv.ir By Joobin Zarvan, Press TV, Tehran | |
Its economy is firmly predicated on a rigid and extreme doctrine and the radical organizing principles of sustaining a monstrous machine, which rapaciously covets the blood of the earth and runs on the fuel of war. War definitely pays big dividends to those who sponsor and design it. It simply takes a febrile imagination, not necessarily a fertile one, to come up with a spurious justification to welcome yet a new war. For the unsavory corporate kings and their entertainment queens, of course, it is all about the money. As long as the inconvenient facts can be readily incinerated if not relegated to oblivion, there is nothing wrong with scheming to engineer a grand predatory plan to make but a few more dollars. For the sake of the furious folks back home, who have been again fooled by a fallacious argument, an enemy must be found. If none available, then one must be created. Inevitably, a war must be fought. It is the accoutrement of a neoconservative economic power, which is the will to make consent if not fake it. When the war starts, it innately tends to gather momentum, develop a logic and find justification of its own. This is when many lose sight of why it is being fought and why it began in the first place. Viewing politics as power, as maintained by the US, has blinded the American government to the crucial role of power in politics. This is reflective of the values from which and toward which the internal strife for theorizing a new American empire, in a new era, is directed. To achieve this, a system of power needs a staggering supply of ignorance as well as monumental moral apathy stemming from an arrogant notion of enjoying a singular authority over morality and civility. This pathetic claim to civilizational authority and superiority is reminiscent of Rudyard Kipling's versified account of the white man's burden. The Bush administration is now trying to justify its first mistake by making a second one, which could well be its biggest mistake ever, saber rattling against Iran. American politicians have apparently learned no lessons from their past blunders. Although they think they reflect on the past, they are merely rearranging their insular prejudices if not ill-ordered priorities. It is bitterly ironic that this peculiar process of US contemplation usually tends to manifest itself in the form of bellicose and apocalyptic rhetoric to prepare for yet another war. The mother of all such military blunders when coupled with the father of all US lies resulted in Attila the Hun's army descending barbarously on a poor nation ten thousand miles away in the guise of evangelical liberators commissioned to save, i.e. civilize, the Iraqi people. There is nothing more admirable in politics than a short memory, and the US government seems to boast of such in ample measure. Having a selective memory these days is completely in vogue and having a vivid one seems to be completely in vain. In a consumerist environment controlled by a fear-mongering political propaganda system, assuming a stance reflective of ones beliefs has become all too rare. This is how further invasions become easily comprehendible. The frightful extension or over-extension of American militarism has recently gained new momentum to prepare for a possible encounter with Iran, a country all too familiar with Washington's regional priorities. Insisting on treading on a pathological path of disregard for the sovereignty of other countries, the US continues in its inexorable march toward war with Iran. The ensuing terrorizing war-mongering doctrine supporting it is not a dazzling exercise in democratic will but as poignantly observed, is yet another manifestation of a system that is jumping the shark to regain its lost confidence and possibly its credibility in the new era. It is about time the US realized that it cannot resolve its significant problems with the same level of thinking used to create them. It is high time the Bush administration comprehended the elementary concept that it is not about what is right about war, it is actually about what is left, after it. Washington and allies are on a road to perdition, which will inevitably lead to the further carnage of the innocent in the Middle East. This is while its democracy is being challenged from the inside by questions that shake the very core of the flimsy notion that in America democracy prevails. In the hope that Americans may one day wake from their slumber... |
