Never ascribe to stupidity that which can adequately be explained by malice.

Opinions

Since this is a vanity site, you could call everything "opinions". I guess I wanted to give people some indication that this section has more controversial stuff: the sort of thing one is encouraged not to discuss at a dinner party because the guests will come to blows.

You should be aware of the following hints on navigation:

  • Postings are presented in REVERSE chronological order
  • For a clickable list of topics, refer to the "Site map" in the left-hand navigation pane
  • If you click an upper-level topic, the system will *also* display lower-level topics, up to some limit
  • Changes in my site setup are listed under the "Chrome" topic.

Opinion of an Iraqi in "Why We Fight"

"Why We Fight" is the title of a recent documentary about the USA's continuing need to maintain a state of war.

At around 1 hr 33 mins 43 secs on my copy, an Iraqi is shown complaining about the USA, speaking Arabic. I copied down the subtitles because I find them powerful. Here they are:

Due to their behavior the Americans will fail.

They will fail completely among the countries.

And another country will rise and take the Americans' place.

I am not a political man, but that is my analysis as an ordinary person.

America will lose because her behavior is not the behavior of a great nation.

I am particularly interested because I have come to believe that it was the intention of the Bush administration to destroy the USA all along, although "Why We Fight" pushes the argument that the military-industrial complex just wanted the administration to create another enemy now that the USSR has fallen. I think the military-industrial complex probably still believes that the US administration is working for them, although they have got to be starting to wonder.



I hope this information was useful. There may be a great deal more information on this site that is relevant to what you need. Take a look at the "site map" display at left; you can click on a topic to see many recent items on that topic.
