Subject: Eyeless in Gaza
In 8 years, the Bush Regime - neocons, and no doubt with Israel's complicity
- imagined Iraq's demise would 'reconfigure the Mideast' with democracies
up and instantly flourishing in the glow of a successful invasion. Now
Israel invades Gaza - with American armor and support - still
imagining/dreaming a reconfiguration of the Mideast. If 'slaughter' counts
as vision 'they' are clearly winning by the dead in numbers. If this
invasion counts as the Israel/American 'vision' in any other sense, 'Eyeless
in Gaza' appears to be more accurate than ever. Might as well imagine a tank
or Cheney threading a needle's eye.
What keeps these people - other than pathology - running this wheel over and
over again? One - somewhat helpless at the moment - can only 'hope' that
this is Bush & Cheney's "Last Tape" and that Hilary-Obama might (might) pour
some water on 'the powder' and work out a vocabulary not built on
slaughter.
