It's occurred to me that some people (assuming anyone's even remotely interested) may not be entirely clear on my stance regarding the upcoming war.I've spoken out against Bush and Blair, stating that they have shown no real evidence to justify going to war, and consistantly ignored world and public opinion.
On the other hand, I can quite happily sit here and say the U.N. security council is an innefective if not completely worthless organisation that does little but provide a platform for pointless blathering and posturing.
So, am I a hawk or a dove?
Hehehe. I'm neither.
I guess looking at it honestly, I'm rather an amoral, if not immoral person. I can quite openly accept that the cases put forward by Bush and Blair are tenuous at best, and in truth offer little in the way of hard evidence to justify a war. However, I'm also fully aware of the fact that they're going to go to war whatever happens. So here's my position. Cut the bullshit, quit blathering and get on with it. Stop trying to pull the wool over our eyes in the vain hope that we're gonna buy your story and believe such an attack is justified. It isn't, but since it's gonna happen anyway, shut up and do it.
I'm tired of being so blatantly lied to by our polititians, but I'm also tired of listening to lame dumbass french and german twitterings. What's the point of waiting for several months to prove the inspectors won't be able to do their job? Stalling the inevitable just to say "we gave peace a chance" is entirely pointless and pathetic when it obviously doesn't have a chance, so either join in or at least shut up. Actually, no... just shut up.
No, I don't advocate war as an acceptable solution to anything, but acceptable is a fairly redundant word when applied to human nature in situations such as this. It's going to happen, so lets cut all the pretentions regarding 'acceptable' behaviour and actions and just get it over with.
