Here we go again. American history repeats itself. This last insurance by Vice President Dick Cheney last February 23 that all options about war on Iran are on the table, is adequate to worry even insensitive cellular structures like Fallwell, Robertson, Limbaugh and Hanity. Maybe.
Make My Day!
The matter is serious adequate that it urged me to get in touch with my great-great grandfather to get his plan on the matter and his usual wise comments on events affecting our favorite country. By the way, I must state that I am a expert medium and have developed the principal connections to those in that cheerful sphere in the beyond.(see my web page)
My Gramps, as I improperly call him, seems to delight in our sessions. He is all the time well disposed to improve historical facts and enlighten topics of present import. He led a full life as a professor and scientist and had savored in his youth the bitterness of several forces campaigns in a country in the process of becoming a suited nation.
This time, Cheney's words were on the table.
"What do you think, Gramps?'
"Nothing new for this republic'
"What do you mean?'
"Business as usual. Invading countries is another of our great specialties!'
"That so, Gramps?'
"Yup. I was a sailor in the battleship Uss Maine in 1898 and was saved by the romantic date I had that evening in Havana harbor. If you remember your history, the battleship Uss Maine in Havana harbor blew up with a loss of 266 men. Evidence as to the cause of the explosion was inconclusive and contradictory. It may have been an accident, or caused by a Spanish or Cuban mine. Years later, some veterans claimed that the explosion was ready by underwater demolition experts belonging to a Navy group, no longer in existence. Blowing up the Maine, sort of the proud flagship of our Navy, provided the exquisite excuse to utter war on Spain and cash in on Puerto Rico, the Philippines, Guam and a few other jewels!"
"Be that as it may, Gramps, but you can not prepare the country for another invasion by enlarging the perspectives of Iran's nuclear ambitions into a deadly threat to all humanity. Besides, what happened in Havana harbor that evening , whether it was an urgency or the means to interpret forces action, should not interpret a permanent course on the basis of a particular incident, Gramps. You don't believe that we arranged for incidents to happen to our own forces or asset in order to interpret forces action?"
"You asked for it. Let me just mention some of the more obvious of all those invasions that in one form or another were created by the Us Government. How about Colombia, Panama, Nicaragua, Santo Domingo, Lebanon, Cambodia, Somalia, Guatemala, Indo China, Honduras, Zaire, Albania, East Timor, Laos, Ethiopia, Tunisia, Nigeria, Marocco, Indonesia, Korea, Vietnam, Granada, Haiti, Afganistán and Iraq? Wise up great-great-grandsomething of mine. They were all contrived by our own services to give us the excuse to war, war, war!"
"Gramps, you remember Clint Eastwood's famed phrase about some one making his day?"
"How can any one forget it. Why?"
"You just ruined my day!!"
With tears in my eyes I had to cut off the connection.
