I had a thought just now. A scary one. In fact, I’m posting for the first time just to see if anyone sees this the same way I do.
We had the Gulf War (I), and now we have Gulf War II.
Another way of numbering I and II is A and B.
This war would therefore be abbreviated GWII, or GWB!
Here’s my thought- this war isn’t about oil. It isn’t about terrorism. No one gives a damn about the Iraqi people. The is about one thing, and one thing only: George W Bush (GWB) inscribing his initials on the very annals of history.
This, if true, goes far beyond any act of vandalism I can think of. It’s infintely more massive, pervasive and longer lasting than the usual “JW + MB” carved into a tree. It’s more obnixious and arrogant than “Jimmy Wuz Here” spraypainted on the side of a building. In fact, I’m going to stop now. I just can’t think about it any more.
So what do the rest of you think?
