Look-alike Holy Rivals
?Edip Yuksel, J.D.
www.yuksel.orgIt is no secret that the war in Iraq was started to promote the geo-political interest of American-Israeli alliance, and it is baptized by big corporations. While American weapon industry is devouring bloody profits from destruction of Iraq, American construction giants are piling up skyrocketing profits from its construction, and oil companies are making lubrative profits from shortage speculations and future concessions received from the so-called Free Iraq's puppet regimes. War once again is re-distributing the wealth in America, shifting it further from the poor and middle class to the filthy rich. All this is accomplished by using tax money, to which 60 percent of American corporations contributed ZERO dollars.
In this war, the blood of poor people is shed on both sides. If by accident or design, a son-of-a-rich American enlists in military duty, and by another accident he ends up in battle field and gets hurt, the American Inc's media celebrates him news after news, program after program by telling us the story of that great American Hero. This makes poor Americans forget about their financial and health problems, their prisons, debts, joblessness, and cry for this great hero. Poor and Middle class citizens are thus will be led to believe that rich people share the honor of the snake-oil patriotism with them.
The American military lost about 800 soldiers so far in Iraq (don't ask the tens of thousands of Iraqi civilians killed by our heroes; they do not count), and we got only one-and-a-half heroes Lynch and Tillman. Their stories attracted media's attention since one was a woman and the other was a "potential" millionaire. The story of Jessica Lynch saved by brave American soldiers was later found to be a fiction. To lure the daughters and wives of lower class Americans, in addition to their men, to die for the green aspirations of the big corporations, media has always staged hidden propaganda campaigns. As for Tillman, though his story was inspiring, yet it was not among the popular values of Americans, since out of more than 800 soldiers killed none even came close to Tillman. I am not talking about American values, such as, individual rights, freedom, innovation, optimism, and hard-work. I do not know if Tillman were a guard in a prison whether he would sexually torture Iraqi detainees and prisoners, but perhaps he shared a traditional American value violence and arrogance. As for politicians who are hired and manipulated by big corporations and organizations, they almost always shed some crocodile tears and get more votes from the exploited poor.
American military mainly consists of Americans belonging to the bottom 20 percent of economic spectrum. Though they are financially FORCED to become hired guns, they are euphemistically called Volunteers. Besides the military service, the only two options for most of the enlisted "volunteers" are to join the homeless or the prison population. American soldiers have somehow "patriotically" picked the military, which seems to be a better option than being homeless or inmate. Ironically, when they become useless for military, usually they end up where they belong streets, prisons or mental hospitals.
After this introduction, I would like to present you with some facts about the deeds and words of two fanatic groups Taliban, al-Qaida, or Army of the Mahdi VERSUS Crusaders, Evangelical Christians, or the Left-Behind-Armageddonites. The following statements are all gathered from media, and can be verified. Isn't their similarity is shocking?
