Now, in 2007, we are three generations away from Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The mushroom cloud, which was so prominent in public consciousness in the 50's, now is hidden in a dark corner of our minds. The menace of nuclear annihilation is hedged about with denial and rationalization.
We must realize that Bush has been steadily working to make nuclear war more likely. He scuttled the ABM Treaty in December 2001, right after 9-11, when no one would object. In January 2002, he published the Nuclear Posture Review, which violates the NPT by threatening to nuke non- nuclear countries.
How Bush must hate humanity!
Of course, revving up the nuclear arms race brings profit to Carlyle and Halliburton, the Bush and Cheney family corporations. It also terrorizes the public at a deep unconscious level, which makes us docile and helpless, easy to control.
We know whose finger is on the button. He reportedly thumped his chest three times at a recent gathering, declaiming "I'm the president. I'm the president. I'm the president".
If we care at all about ourselves, our children, our grandchildren, we MUST stop the madness NOW. We must break through our own psychic numbing and face our fear of nuclear war. Then we must face down the satan in the White House who seeks to destroy us all.
Impeachment is more urgent than ever. HR 333, which targets Cheney for his threats against Iran, as well as his lies about Iraq, now has 5 cosponsors.
Call your Congressperson today- 202-224-3121- and urge, beg, plead with him/her to cosponsor HR 333. Not just support, but cosponsor HR 333.
