This is the voice of reason reminding all Americans that although there have been no terrorist attacks on our soil since 9/11, Revenge is a French dish, and it is best served cold.
How long did it take for Osama to build his network?
From the humble beginnings of colonialist invation into Arab territories, it took years for people like Osama and the Chechniyan rebels to build a force to be scared of.
Even now, we can see that Osama did not need all of his weapons to bring us down to his level.
I fear for this country, that in the wave of attacks that may sweep America, that we may fall into the hate patterns of Nazi Germany.
It's not because I think that the man is out to get me, or some conspiracy theory is hitting me.
It's just the simple co-relations with what is happening with dissent here and what happened with dissent in that fateful mark on Germany's past.
It's also the relationship that business had with Hitler before and during the war, a relationship that Bush has as well.
This is gross, because the relationships are being denied, and yet, they are clear as day.
It may well be that Bush doesn't know enough history to see the links, my mother certainly doesn't and she lost two grandparents and an untold number of uncles and aunts to the Holocaust.
I for one, was told never to forget. And I for one, can't forget the correlations. Just because the kids in the internment camps aren't Jews, doesn't mean it's not the same bullshit all over again.
I propose, that in order to get Americans to see the relations, we all start wearing Jewish stars in yellow on our shirts, as protest, to remind even Holocaust survivors that this should happen to no one, least of all children.
This summer I am going to Israel, and I will wear the whole outfit, stripes and all, on the West Bank, in front of soldiers, so they can see the correlation as clear as I can. Hopefully Rachel Corrie's Ghost will be by my side.
"Revenge is a French dish, and it is best served cold."
Interesting you should say that since French navy divers sank the flaship of Greenpeace in the 1980's, killing some of the protestors on board....
