GEORGE W. BUSH and the END OF CIVILIZATION

The day after George Bush was made president by the Supreme Court, I told a friend, "We just came to a fork in the road and took a branch. I have no idea where it leads, only that we can never get back to that other branch."

I voted for Bush in 2000 and so I am spiritually responsible for summoning the Angel of Destruction.

George W. Bush is, in my solemn and honest opinion, insane. Insanity in this case is nothing more than the inability to correctly judge reality. When a person thinks they're a bird and can fly, only to leap out of 15 story building and fall to their death, you can say that person incorrectly judged the reality of lacking wings. Or you can say they're insane. By the same token, if one invades a sovereign country thinking it will be a cakewalk and it turns into a killing ground, that person has incorrectly judged reality. Insane?

George W. Bush is a megalomaniac coupled with narcissistic personality disorder, an alcoholic and a former cocaine abuser. He thinks he's the Chosen One, picked from the maelstrom of history at a unique point in time to lead his country in times of trouble. Because he's an evangelical Christian, he's taken it one step further. George W. Bush believes we are at Revelations as prophesied in the Bible and the Apocalypse is nigh. He reminds me of Kane, the creepy preacher from Poltergeist, who took his followers down into the caverns to await His return.

They died in those caverns. To be certain that he's proven correct, though, George W. Bush is going to set off a chain of events that will re-order the world and quite possibly end it, or at least the civilization currently calling it home.


George W. Bush intends to use nuclear weapons against Iran to keep Iran from ever being able to use nuclear weapons. This oxymoronic piece of logic reminds me of the line in Dr. Strangelove: "Gentlemen, no fighting in the war room."

According to a report by Seymour Hersh in the New Yorker (Hersh is the one who broke the Abu Graib prisoner abuse story) according to Hersh an air assault on Iran is being planned and, against the wishes of members of the Joints Chiefs of Staff, tactical nuclear weapons will be used to penetrate underground bunkers:

The attention given to the nuclear option has created serious misgivings inside the offices of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, he added, and some officers have talked about resigning. Late this winter, the Joint Chiefs of Staff sought to remove the nuclear option from the evolving war plans for Iran - without success, the former intelligence official said. "The White House said, 'Why are you challenging this? The option came from you.' "

The Pentagon adviser on the war on terror confirmed that some in the Administration were looking seriously at this option, which he linked to a resurgence of interest in tactical nuclear weapons among Pentagon civilians and in policy circles. He called it "a juggernaut that has to be stopped." He also confirmed that some senior officers and officials were considering resigning over the issue. "There are very strong sentiments within the military against brandishing nuclear weapons against other countries," the adviser told me. "This goes to high levels." The matter may soon reach a decisive point, he said, because the Joint Chiefs had agreed to give President Bush a formal recommendation stating that they are strongly opposed to considering the nuclear option for Iran. "The internal debate on this has hardened in recent weeks," the adviser said. "And, if senior Pentagon officers express their opposition to the use of offensive nuclear weapons, then it will never happen."

The adviser added, however, that the idea of using tactical nuclear weapons in such situations has gained support from the Defense Science Board, an advisory panel whose members are selected by Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. "They're telling the Pentagon that we can build the B61 with more blast and less radiation," he said.

If America, under its criminal president, uses nuclear weapons against Iran, here's what will happen:

- America will be ostracized from the world community. Many countries will pull their envoys and shut down embassies. This country will become a virtual pariah to the world, the only country to have ever used nuclear weapons and to have done so twice.

- America will be sanctioned by the United Nations, with possible economic punitives put in place.

- In absentia, George W. Bush will be convicted of war crimes in The Hague. Quite possibly sentenced to death, a warrant will be issued for his extradition. It will be ignored.

- Gas will go to over $10 a gallon as enraged Arab oil producing countries, along with Hugo Chavez's Venezuela, seek revenge against the United States.

- The US economy, so fragile from it's staggering debt, both governmental and consumer, will collapse, as will the rest of the world's.

- In the world that follows the nuking and the collapse, desperation will set in, as it ALWAYS does in times of global economic hardship as countries, fearful of the madness of America, frantically arm themselves both conventionally and with nuclear weapons.

- Quite possibly World War III and all that entails, an order of magnitude more horrible and more global than WWII and all it entailed.

And all because a madman became president by the whim of 5 Supreme Court justices in the year 2000.
