The fratboy & his co-conspirators continue to act as provocateurs.

The United States of fascism accuses Iran of arms trafficking in support of Iraqi “insurgents” (who maybe just consider themselves freedom fighters, given the ongoing occupation of their country by bushit, blair & their corporate oil thieves?) & seize three Iranian diplomats. Whilst the US says that “charges” against the Iranians will be made public “soon”, this must be considered doubtful, given the Americans normal propensity to go public immediately with the wildest accusations on the slightest pretext. The Iranian diplomats are no more than hostages & their seizure is a deliberate provocation.

Of course, whilst the psycho in the outhouse claims that Amerikan forces can always act with impunity in advancing his perverted agenda, others are not permitted the same privilege. The US has inserted CIA operatives & Special Forces in Iran, no doubt to try & find proof of Iran’s “weapons of mass destruction programs”, as well as to foment opposition to the democratically elected Iranian government. But, of course, these are our “provocateurs” so that’s OK.

And, of course, bushit has already deployed an aircraft carrier group to the Gulf, allegedly to keep the Sraits of Hormuz open in the event of an escalation of the middle east conflict. And a 2nd carrier group is now in transit, along with Patriot missile defence batteries. If we were Iranians, would we see this as a provocation or would we just accept it as business as usual? How would the Americans react if the Russians or Chinese deployed battle fleets off the coast of their country?

And whilst the US loudly accuses Iran & Syria of giving aid to Hamas & Hezbollah, it quietly goes about arming Habbas & supporting opposition groups in Lebanon. And just as the US tries to interfere in the affairs of Iran, it also interferes in the internal affairs of Syria.

In fact, the US is trying to do what it’s always done: trying to run the planet. The only difference these days is that Bush is an incompetent, so American foreign policy is executed in a crude, clumsy & highly visible fashion, whilst the entire world is awake-up to the phoney, hypocritical yankee rhetoric of “freedom & democracy”.

A pox on Pax Americana.
