Fanning the Flames of Terror

--- 2005-05-02 ---

QUESTION: Are Bush policies effective in dealing with the blight of terrorism?

Data from the real world says absolutely not. Now, some articles in the mainstream media even ask questions such as "is Bush winning the war on terror?" Of course, it should be plainly obvious to anyone with a brain that the Bush policies are actually fanning the flames of terrorism. But do we see any of the American media asking the more poignant question "Are Bush policies fanning flames of terror?"

No! Because the American news media are a feeble bunch of pussies when it comes to holding a corrupt government accountable. Especially when polls tell them that a majority of Americans are stupid enough to agree with Bush's approach to handling a complex situation. Well, clearly, when you've lost your brains - as America seems to have - all you have left is brute force. Where's the fucking finesse? Where's the intelligence in dealing with a slippery situation? Corruption cleared that away. War sells, peace is boring.
