THE LOONY SUNNIS


                                        THE LOONY SUNNIS

                                                      by

                                                   Bettejo

     I would like to expand on a letter I wrote today to the Garden Island.

     It began this way:

     ...."I do not mean to harp," she said harpingly...

     I would like to respond to Rich Lowry's column in the Garden Island Tuesday, June 27. Most assuredly I agree that it was a wonderous feat when we killed Zarqawi, the loony Sunni. Rich is correct in claiming that Zarqawi's goal was to provoke the stupid Shias into responding in a like manner and he did, indeed, succeed. However, I would like to remind Rich that another of Zarqawi's goals was to get us to respond in a similar manner and, again, he did, indeed, succeed. I will not list the horrible acts that our troops allegedly committed, but I will remind you that no matter how YOU view these acts, every crazed Muslim in the world will be incensed and respond to them. We've given them cause.

     By remaining in Iraq...the Mid East...as occupiers, we are only creating more Zarqawis in every other nation with a Muslim population. From beyond the grave Zarqawi can only wish George, the hawks, the oiligarchs and our own religious fanatics stay the course.

     We cannot kill or convert all lunatic Muslims. They cannot convert or kill all our religious nuts or our poor young troops caught up in the mess Dick and Rummy created.

     This is a war, in truth, that neither side can win....

     The harpy part? Well, any of you who have read my letters or columns know how I love to harp about our radical religious right and their boy, George, the born again drunk. I think, sincerely now, it's time we called a loon a loon. I think one would have to be certifiably insane to be a Muslim; but then, I think ,one would have to be insane to belong to any religious group. Fortunately, we live in a free country...so far, and in some ways...where one can believe anything one wishes: again, I would  remind believers...harp harp harp...that if everyone in the world, except thee and me, believed the moon was made of green cheese, the moon would still not be made of green cheese. All organized believers seem to believe that the more believers believe their nuttiness, the more likely their nuttiness is the truth and, more often than not, reach the boiling point where they are willing to kill someone who will not believe what they believe. Non-believers are a threat to believers. No one group of believers has a corner on this ridiculous madness. Harp. Harp. Harp.

     As for George, the hawks, the oiligarchs and the religious fanatics, what can I say? They exist. They are a threat to America and to the world. Spend a moment learning how Cheney and Rummy deliberately fabricated the ties betwen Iraq and 9/11 in order to involve us in this tragic war. Let me remind you:  Zarqawi hated Saddam's Iraq because it was a secular state. Saddam did not much like Zarqawi either, because Zaeqawi was a loon. Saddam, for all his wretchedness, did manage to conrol his religious loons. Most of us, who know what's going on, can only hope someone in our country has the courage, and can find a way, to control our religious loons. They are a most powerful group and if you wish to live in an American theocracy run by Pat Rob'emson, Jerry Foulwell, Doderson, the creepy Dominionists or Creative Design phonys please leave a nasty comment where indicated at the bottom of this column and go to church...or somewhere. Preferably that somewhere hot and far away that your silly minds have invented to frighten little children and gullible adults.

     It seems obvious tome that George, the hawks, the oiligarchs and the religious fanatics do not want this war to end. Wars, to George and the oiligarchs, are very profitable ventures. To the hawks they're stars and bars. To the religious fanatics this war is a direct route to Armageddon. Soon will come the great battle in the sky: our Honcho? Their Honcho? Actually you-know-who will not be coming in for a landing until the world is in ruin and this batch of wierdos are doing their da**est to make that happen. Their Honcho is a pretty war-like critter when riled ( you don't often hear about that in Sunday school) and, anyway, according to George, "War is Peace." (That should read "War is $$$$s." ) We are involved, ladies and gentlemen of reason, in a religious war...harp harp harp...and, if war is man's disgrace a religious war is the most disgraceful.

     Only a couple more harps and I promise to call it quits. George, the hawks and the oiligarchs are doing their da**dest to turn America into a Third World country. 1% own it all. 10% keep them there. 89% are nothing but cheap labor and cannon fodder controlled by the religious right. No public schools. No middle class. No social benefits. More fuel to the fire of their sick plan for the future (?).

     Wonder why the R & R'ers choose to disbelieve in Global Warming? Come on now THIMK! The effects of Global Warming is part of the great 'let us all depart in Rapture mitout our underpants' religious bunk.

     This entire loony business is like trying to put dozens of scrambled mixed-up jigsaw puzzle pieces...that can't fit, wont fit, don't fit...together. It's like being the only sane person in an insane asylum. I'll admit it gets harder and harder and harder to know there are voices of reason out there. But, all we have to do is find each other and harp....

     Every country must fight its own terrorists on its own turf. That includes us. Our presence in Iraq does not exclude Islamic lunatics from committing acts of terrorism here. In fact, it exacerbates them. Bring our troops home now. 

     Hear me now: harp harp harp and keep on harping. Repeat after me: harp harp harp and keep on harping.

    Dear mad, then how about passionate? We need to be passionate about the mess we're in. Some of my readers speak of shelters. But that will not solve this. there will be hoards of homeless epeople. Hungry people. Jobless people. angry, sad, discouraged people. Geeorge and his oil rich cohorts will need the shlters. many will hide within their gated communities but everyone knows where they are. They better have armed guards 24/7. Peace and Love Bettejo

    The immigration problem in the United States is a very serious problem. The country has a bigger population of poor people. They have very little chance of getting out of poverty. The Republicans and Democrats want them here for cheap labor. The world is so overpopulated that for all practical purposes there is an infinite supply of cheap labor for the rich. Religion has played a major role in overbreeding by humans. People should not have children they cannot afford. They put themselves into deeper poverty, and their children are almost assured of a life of poverty too. All the major religions are guilty in fostering overbreeding. I really don't understand why people cannot see that they are being conned. I would think that they would see that the politicians and religous leaders are doing beautifully while they are getting nothing. Religion is a scourge on humanity, the biggest and most successful con job ever perpetrated on humanity. It's pitiful that people fall for it, and even more so that the poor fall for it. The poor are the most vulnerable victims of religion.

    I wonder if harping will do any good. Those fanatics need INTENSE psychiatric treatment. It is a mental illness to be a fanatic.

    Yes, George W. Bush is a loon. I think he is severly mentally ill. He is so disturbed that he should have been removed from office for that reason alone. The religious right don't see it because they are just as crazy. Loons love loons.

    Bingo. Yup our education are definitely in toilet. Actually I am Deaf Mexican-American United State citizen. Myself am already in poverty level and am still struggling to get out. After I read your article. there's nothing more for me to say but I would wish for me to ask your persmission if I can just make copy of your articles and repost this in other sites. I had been working on spread the words. I have a hope just same as you. I had been working on remind people that we are in the control not the people at upper level. I would like to meet with you and chat more sometime in near future. We can share information as well. I have to say education and information is power. We as human need a huge kick in our ass to remind us of who we are. Are we to behave like animals or better than that. I admire your article very much and would very much like to copy your article of course with your persmission and repost this article somewhere where it could reach much bigger mainstream. That is of course with your permission.

    I look forward to more of your articles.
    Keep it up!
