Understanding Your Enemy
It was just announced about three seconds ago (with much bloviating) that Al Zarqawi, the supposed leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq, was killed in an air strike.
The best part about this is that George Bush and his idiot followers actually think this means something.
They still have a pre-9/11 mindset that looks at things in terms of national, authoritarian, top-down organizations. Al-Qaeda is decentralized, and bottom-up. At most, a couple of cells were disrupted. And none of this addresses the civil war that is raging in Iraq this very minute, whether we are there or not.
The Neocons are going to make the same mistake made in Vietnam, where they think killing ANY individual makes a difference to the fight. This thing we're fighting isn't motivated by any ONE individual, and you could kill 100,000 Zarqawis and not make a dent. Just as we killed over 5 times as many Vietcong and still lost.
Those idiots think we're fighting terrorism. Terrorism is just a tactic. We're fighting an IDEA. Radical religious fundamentalism. THAT is the CAUSE of the violence.
And George Bush could no more defeat that, than he could ride his bike without falling off it.
George Bush can't defeat radical religious fundamentalism, because he IS a radical religious fundamentalist. He's just the Christian version of it. The flip side of the same damn stupid coin.
You can't defeat something when you agree with it, and George Bush and his minions are part of a planetary problem that INCLUDES Al Qaeda.
BOTH need to go bye-bye.
You don't defeat ideas with bombs. You defeat them with better ideas. Ideas Neocons haven't the faintest clue about.
