INCONGROUS JUXTAPOSITION
If there was ever an incongruous juxtaposition promulgated for which the proclivity is so obtrude, it is the bloody, murderous, illegal invasion of a sovereign country (Iraq), obfuscated by the hypocritical concept of freedom and democracy. This nuance numbs the mind of any person who truly believes in "freedom and justice for all."
It is for some just complacency, and for others, a heart wrenching story of how powerful nations decimate other societies, and while millions suffer deaths, wounds, hunger, thirst, the ochlocracy continues to lie and deceive in an attempt to protect their place in history. It is shameful to witness the hypocrisy of the "good Christian" people, hiding behind freedom, democracy and liberty. But as the songs says: "Freedom is just another word, when you have nothing left to lose!"
Perhaps this may be the reason for the world's silence! President Bush has placed "we" America in a swamp of mush and mire derived from his manufactured lies to his continued manipulation of the facts. 3,100 plus dead American Soldiers, some 22,000 severely wounded, 400 billion dollars spent, three years and nine months have gone by, and by any account some "one million Iraqis are dead," and no one knows how many are wounded? All this so Saddam Hussein can be put on trial for crimes he committed when Ronald Regan and George H.W. Bush were President and Vice President. Or perhaps, to have permanent Bases in Iraq to control the 112 billion barrels of Iraq's oil reserves. Our morale standards are not only questionable, but it stinks!
Charles H. Spurgeon (1835-1892) said it best when he wrote about vanity;
