Blowing the whistle on U.S. global policies

The United States seems to be headed towards a very deadly reality check, one that would resensatize this nation to the realties of war and death, far removed from the false sense of security we currently experience, albeit at a terrifying cost. At a time when our country is in the midst of operating an illegal capitalistic war in Iraq, one founded on flat out lies and misrepresentations, at a time when president Bush is threatening to attack Iran preemptively over a hypocritical nuclear stance, our nation continues on unmoved, seemingly unaware of or unconcerned with, desensitized to or misinformed about, the detrimental effects our leaders and policies are having on the rest of the world concerning basic human rights. This reality is as much cultural as it is political, as without the spoiled, wealthy mindset our nation regards the rest of the world and public policy with, our government would not be able to operate so illegally and immorally. We as a nation are so concerned with our own petty pursuits, that the big picture has been lost chasing the American Dream. This is how our government has invaded and killed millions of Iraqi's illegally without a declaration of war, without any solid facts to back the invasion, as the great majority of this nation, far removed from the reality and destruction of war, looks forward to primetime television and the latest gossip instead of concerns that hold real life importance, unconcerned with the death and destruction caused in the name of our country, the United States of America. The vast majority in this country would rather talk sports or gossip than politics, and this is the environment our leaders have taken to exploiting. This country is in need of a reality check, I just hope it can come internally, rather than externally in the form of another 9/11.

Citizens of the United States, we need to be very concerned right now by the seed president Bush is planting on striking Iran. Iran, like Iraq, is a goldmine of oil, and our government is very desirous of this oil rich land. It is my opinion that our government is looking for any excuse to invade and institute an American friendly government, and judging by recent history, that opinion shouldn't be taken lightly. Consider the logic Bush is using towards Iran's nuclear enrichment program. Our country, one very dependant on nuclear technology, with a nuclear arsenal to boot, is attempting to impose a set of rules on Iran that we won't even follow. We are demanding that Iran cease it's nuclear enrichment program or face the threat of attack, a program they claim is strictly aimed at producing nuclear power, while possessing no proof whatsoever that they are attempting to develop a nuclear arsenal. This despite the fact we are adamant in continuing our nuclear practices. How hypocritical we are globally in demanding that other nations follow policies that we will not follow ourselves, this despite the fact that we are the only nation on earth to use an atomic bomb on another nation. We have no right to force another nation to refrain from the benefits of nuclear technology, when we are the ones with a murderous, nuclear aggressive track record.

If we invade Iran, it will become clear to the rest of the world that our economically inspired global politics cannot be stopped without the use of excessive force, and we will experience the breakdown of the American security blanket. Terrorism, if that's what we are to call it, isn't just some random, uninspired act committed by some crazy who is jealous of our lifestyle. Terrorism is a violent response to real life crimes that go unpunished, and attacking Iran would be a real life crime deserving of such a response. We cannot continue attacking those who are not attacking us, calling them threats while eyeing their resources. The American perspective may be blind to this reality, but the rest of the world isn't. It's simply a matter of time before we exploit too many and they rise up against us, unified against the global terrorists our country has become. Invading Iran is a real possibility, and this idea needs to be thwarted before Bush is allowed to build up momentum. Primetime television will not be so important when our aggressive actions bring the warring onto our soil.
