Comments on: Open Letter to John McCain http://www.dissidentvoice.org/2008/03/open-letter-to-john-mccain/ a radical newsletter in the struggle for peace and social justice Tue, 13 May 2008 14:19:23 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: Shabnam http://www.dissidentvoice.org/2008/03/open-letter-to-john-mccain/#comment-16990 Shabnam Wed, 26 Mar 2008 07:59:35 +0000 http://www.dissidentvoice.org/2008/03/open-letter-to-john-mccain/#comment-16990 Those irresponsible people who wish McCain’s victory, a warmonger, to speed up the downfall of the American empire must think again. Europeans and their extension, American, are killing and robbing for the last 500 years with the help of their citizen who were and are accomplice in their crimes because they benefited from the massacred of others.. Your logic is similar to those “radicals” in the “third world countries” who believed “hardship” makes the ignorant working class active in politics in order to get rid of their chains. We have seen the opposite. Where are those ignorant working class? Some of them are helping the empire to kill Iraqi, Afghani, Sudanese, …..people. Isn’t it? So, if you whish the downfall of the empire, you have to get out of your comfortable chair and shake your behind and, at least, to demonstrate and demand to bring these mercenaries home, or organize Europeans and others not to work one day per week until these mass murderer leave Iraq and the Middle East. Why don’t you expose the cooperation of Israel and US with the Kurds? Do you know that the Zionist lobby is expanding to include the Kurdish lobby in the US? Israel is giving the Kurds military training to help Bush and McCain, not to speed up the down fall of the empire that you wish, but to kill millions more in Iraq and the neighboring countries to keep the north of Iraq as their MILLITARY BASE, in addition to Green Zone, and your European countryman who have benefited from the massacred of others, are doing the same and supporting the partition of Iraq and the Kurdish terrorists creating another ISREAL to continue the killing and destruction of people of the region to destabilize the neighboring countries to expand Israel, part of the axis of evil besides US and Britain. Who has killed close to 600 professors and scholars in Iraq? Why do “terrorists” want to kill professors who are not even political? It is obvious that the professionals have been killed deliberately by the occupiers and their puppets, the Kurds, to destroy Iraqi human capital as well as their cultural capital by robbing their museums and their libraries to wipe off their contribution to humanity. Your silence helps the “American exceptionalism” and European “civilizing mission” which has one thing in common, destruction of other people and their societies. It is shameful. Shake your behind.

What really separates you from the Democratic opponents is you embarrassing, disgraceful and disgusting support of Bush and the Iraq war. You are nothing but a warmonger. You have no valid basis for being president.

Fortunately for McCain, the Vietnamese are more civilised and humane than I. My excuse is I'm descended from Europeans, so murder and humbug are in both my genes and memes. The Vietnamese then fed the creep for several years. I do not believe they tortured him-I believe that is a self-serving lie, but what other than self-serving liars does capitalist democracy produce? However, I fervently hope for a McCain victory for the same reason I hoped for Bush victories in 2000 and 2004. The reason is that he is the worst contender left, the one who will drag the US Evil Empire deeper into the mire. Perhaps millions will die as McCain and his Zionist puppet-masters attack Iran and God knows who else, but the process of US decline and, one hopes, collapse, will be hastened, saving even greater numbers in the future. Only by the destruction of the US/Israeli Real Axis of Evil can a world emerge characterised by multi-polarity and real action to address the species threatening ecological challenges. As long as various 'Chosen People' imagine that they can attack and devastate countries at will, and that their narrow, selfish pecuniary interests are more vital than human survival, we are on the high road to perdition.

"And" not "Any". "your" not "you" again. Jeez, Joel, I get the same shit from Hilarious, just because I sent her several hundred bucks a year and a half ago (before I stopped taking headmeds). I figure I don't have time to treat it like you do. My suggested addition to your letter: What would you say are the main differences between the perceptions of war by ground grunts and flyboys? “your” not “you”. “And” not “Any”. “your” not “you” again.

Obama and Clinton have been voting for Iraq War funding and renewal of the PATRIOT ACT and other Constitution-raping measures. Neither will take aggressive war with Iran off the table. Neither of them have a "valid basis for being president." McCain is the worst of the worst, but there's no real separation as averred by the author. Other than that, I thought it was a nice article.
