"Power comes from the barrel of a gun" - Mao

Bush & Co. are, in their own petty vulgarian way, millionaire Maoists. They (along with countless video games and Risk boards) have convinced a huge part of my country that you if you just break enough stuff and kill a sufficient number of enemies you can plant pretty much whatever you want in its stead. And so with Iraq we've unleashed a flood of events the architects of our war policy had never foreseen, primarily because they were living out their own post communist-turned-anti-communist-turned-neo-con-crazy fantasy life, by which the burden of freedom born so tirelessly by America would land on Baghdad with the shock of a bunker buster and the awe of an American flag covering Saddam's sculpted head.
