Churchill had not only studied most of the wars in history but had also served as a soldier… unlike Bush and Blair.
And Britain has a history of warfare dating back to before America was born.
I use his "they had no plan" quote because it seems to have more resonance every day… and Churchill was a much more intelligent and worldly wise figure than the leaders who have taken us into Afghanistan or Iraq... Tony Blair looks like a shopkeeper to me… and Bush may be cunning but he doesn’t seem too smart… a bully yes.
‘…these are people who want to kill you and your family… I want to protect you from them..’ he hasn’t done much of a job!
In both World Wars the world bled and learnt lessons that America never felt… registered… understood… knew about… understood... but then yanks are not very interested in other peoples cultures… and always view history from an American perspective… you just saw Bush do it...
The lesson they never learnt is that the losers in any total war are the civilians. But the Americans have never faced or fought a foreign enemy on their own soil… since maybe ‘The Alamo’ and that was soldier to soldier the First or The Second World wars did not touch American shores so; the nearest they ever got to experiencing how it feels is 9/11… and that was nothing compared to what Europeans have experienced and endured… or the Japanese… or the Vietnamese… but America reacts like a hysterical rape victim!
Bombing people is what Americans do to others… it's a different story when it's done to them.
We hear a lot about American troop causalities… but not much about civilian casualties …the figures are kept vague… I’m sure if we knew how many civilians the American army has killed in Iraq we would be horrified… but then America has a long history of genocide dating back to the destruction of its own American Indians
John Pilger's Breaking The Silence Part 5/6
And if someone questions your bullshit… ‘he’s a commie’ or a fanatic… that’s become the American way.
So where did this American aggressive self confidence come from… Let’s take a look at the history of ‘this great and good democracy’ and it’s track record… ‘the great experiment in democracy turned into a baby killer...’
DATE: September 1, 1939 – September 2, 1945. wikipedia.
‘…the complete mobilization of a nation's economic, industrial, and scientific capabilities for the purposes of the war effort; nearly two-thirds of those killed in the war were civilians’ ...Wikipedia.The world bled and starved while Americans ‘back home’ still ate apple pie and drank fresh milk... We could be on the way there again!
And leading a people to war using lies is a crime against humanity as awful as any in history.
These lies have killed innocent people and will go on doing so for a long time to come.
This cloud is the aftermath of the dropping of an atomic bomb at Nagasaki. wikipedia.
USA Terrorism: Hiroshima, NAGASAKI Atomic Bomb Atomic Bomb...
The Americans wanted the Japanese to carry on the war… so they had an excuse to drop the ‘new toy’…the atomic bomb.
Very like Bush‘s recent plot to ‘back foot’ Saddam into a corner… so as to justify an American invasion… on the pretext of searching out and destroying weapons of mass destruction… that in the event didn’t exist…
The Americans knew this… knew reverence of his ‘religion’ based ‘Godliness’ would force the Japanese to go on fighting till the bitter end to protect their God.
So the Americans got the excuse needed to drop the bomb… engineered and manufactured by the Pentagon just like now.
The yanks pretended they did it to shorten the war so as to ‘save’ lives… Killing nearly a quarter of a million… mainly women and children as all the able bodied men had left the cities to go to the war… but then the lives they where saving where American… and the deaths would only be ‘Japs’ …like ‘slopes’ or ‘gooks’ …enemies dehumanized firstly by name… they’d practised… ‘Squaw’ for example is an offensive American ‘loan word’ supposed to refer to the vagina… many Native Americans interpret it as "white man's bedroom slave." …squaw mean’s vagina… get it!
America committed genocide… mass murder… to show the world that they were the ultimate global power... in a calculated experiment… meant to show just how good the new bomb was.
It was too good an opportunity to miss… they had an excuse… it didn’t matter that they had created the excuse themselves…
One wonders whether had they accurately warned or informed the Japanese what they where contemplating whether the Japanese would have reacted differently? …but we will never know… they were not given that chance… they were Japs.
Besides the Americans really wanted to see what the bomb did to people… look at the amount of ‘watching’ going on in the film clips… Americans with special glasses everywhere… ready to watch a destructive wonder of the world… like morbidly ghoulish witnesses at a hanging… showing the world that they had the first ‘weapons of mass destruction.’
It did not seem to matter to them that it’s biulder… Oppenheimer… was worried about the future danger for civilisation and mankind… forseeing an arms race of weapons of mass destruction… and that the ethics of using such weapons was questionable… they accused him of being ‘a commie’ and character assassinated him… because they didn’t like what he had to say… sound familiar?
When the Americans bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki… it was the beginning of the use of weapons of mass destruction… weapons of mass destruction are an American thing… not an Arab thing… That’s why they are so obsessed with them.
Guilt and fear… 140,000 people died in Hiroshima… 74,000 in Nagasaki… just so America could try out it’s new toy and look the toughest kid on the global block… nearly a quarter of a million dead to prove a God fearing Anglo Saxon Conservative master race was the New World order… which it remained to the present day... with an armory of weapons of mass destruction.
US soldiers Killing a wounded Iraqi…
and "Strategic bombing" both then and now means totally destroying cities. The dead in these cities are not all soldiers but are mainly ordinary people... innocent civilians.
And let's not forget Fallujah !!!
or the "Japs" killed in the American fire bombing and atomic bombing of Japanese cities.
500,000 Japanese civilians were killed. wikipedia.
American bombers destroyed 60 Japanese cities using napalm.
Tokyo burning after the May 26, 1945, firebombing raid. wikipedia.
The firebombing technique involves three long lines of bombers dropping napalm and incediary bombs every 50 feet across whole cities.
Robert Guillain, a French journalist living in Tokyo was an eye witness to the bombing attack ‘ fire, whipped by high winds, began to scythe its way through the density of that wooden city. As they fell, cylinders scattered a kind of flaming dew that skidded along the roofs, setting fire to everything it splashed, spreading a wash of dancing flames everywhere. The first version of napalm. Roofs collapsed under the bombs’ wikipedia.
Tokyo was engulfed in a firestorm of such intensity that it created it’s own winds… a vortex… fanning the flames… the fire spreading was literally a ‘wild fire’.
Temperatures were so high that peoples clothes ignited on them as they ran or huddled together in terror. The very air they tried to breath burned their lungs. Women wearing ‘air-raid turbans’ around their heads burst into flames as the intense heat ignited the turbans like burning candle wicks.
Explosives on to Japanese cities during war. wikipedia.
It was the most devastating air raid ever… over the next 14 days American bombers flew another 1,600 sorties.
Then came their ‘piece de la resistance’ …the moment they had all been waiting for… the dropping of the atomic bomb.
On the day it happened the Japanese never took the attack seriously. Air defense radar only picked up three planes coming in… not the usually huge B52 air armada’s.
They even decided not to intercept… thinking it was probably some kind of reconnaissance flight.
The bomb killed an estimated minimum of 90, 000 people immediately.
Weapons of mass destruction had arrived… shipped in by clean cut heroic looking Yanks… looking like John Wayne… the Hollywood propaganda machine was already churning out a diet of feature length ads for the new world order.
The Searchers trailer (John Wayne)...
This was the kind of ‘Texican’ hero George W Bush was brought up on… note the scary ‘a mans gotta do what a mans gotta do’ similarity… notice the acceptable genocide of the Indians… or that the girl ‘defiled’ by an Indian is better off dead!... because of the terrible things these inhuman savages were capable of… these movies subliminally created and developed a ‘rascist’ mind set leading directly to Hiroshima, Mai Lai and Fallujah… and the day they dropped the atomic bomb it all came together… and the world changed forever.
On the morning of the attack the Tokyo controller of the Japanese Broadcasting Corporation noticed Hiroshima had gone off the air.
Then the Tokyo railroad telegraph center realized the main line telegraph had stopped working… Wild rumors began to spread of an enormous explosion…these reports transmitted immediately to the headquarters of the Japanese General Staff.
Military bases repeatedly tried to call the Army Control Station in Hiroshima… Nothing… just silence.
The complete silence from the city puzzled the men at headquarters… they knew that no large enemy raid had been reported… A young officer of the Japanese General Staff was ordered to fly immediately to Hiroshima… to land… survey the damage… and return to Tokyo with reliable information… It was generally felt at headquarters that nothing serious had taken place… that it was all a rumor.
A great still burning scar on the land covered by a heavy cloud of smoke… all that was left of a whole city.
Hiroshima, after the bombing. wikipedia
Tokyo's first knowledge of what caused the disaster came from a White House public announcement from Washington, D.C... sixteen hours after the nuclear attack on Hiroshima… America was taking over the world.
Radio Tokyo described the destruction observed in Hiroshima as "Practically all living things, human and animal, were literally seared to death,"
The total killed in Hiroshima in 1945 was estimated at 140,000… with hundreds of agonized deaths attributable to body burning radiation exposure
'That war ended ‘but the bitch who bred her is in heat again…’
Americans are not always reknown for being the greatest natural scholars on earth… a recent definition I came across recently said this about their educational system… ‘American education has become the notes of the professor transformed into the notes of the student without passing through the brains of either…’ engineers and corporate expansionists they may be … yes!… good at mass production… yes! …good at technology …good at media… particularly media lies… but ‘free’ …unconventional ‘humanist’ anti capitalist thinkers? …by that I mean anti corporate… not really… they are too conservative… and re member the concept of the corporation is an American idea…
(See ‘The Corporation’)…
after the American civil war some bright lawyer dreamt up the idea of giving a financial structure the ‘human’ rights newly written into the constitution for the protection of the newly ‘freed’ Negro slaves… a great concept …giving a financial institution the legal protection of a free man living in a democracy… but without that institution ever having to worry too much about anyone being held ‘personally’ responsible for the actions of the actual institution itself…
Take away the Administrations badges of office etc… and these guys are all really Corporate’s… Corporate ‘ Dallas’ type ‘Dynasty’s’ with money in weapons… and oil… and building contractors (to clean up smashed the cities)… and security companies (to protect people from attackers they create)… so I fear that what we are being told by Micheal Moore is really only the tip of the iceberg…
Fahrenheit 9/11 Trailer…
The accolade for ‘thinking clearly’ often goes to the more ‘worldly wise’ and therefore more ‘learned’ Europeans… As a thinker corporate America is ‘a massive convoy traveling at the rate of the slowest ship’…That’s how you get a Bush! ...and make no mistake George W & Condi not only torture and kill people… they also actually do kill babies! every day!!! ...in the name of ‘the people of America.’ …I have friends who are American who would never dream of killing a baby… so how come they allow a government to stay in power who does it every day… where are the riots in the streets… or has Bush and his ‘corporate’ home security buddies got a whole nation running scared… that’s what it looks like to an outsider...

The saddest part of this is that good Americans are going to be blamed for the evil activities of a small group of corporate fascists.
I am so pleased to see the new Brit government looks like it’s beginning to pull back… it’s about time… that’s the trouble with religious fundamentalists like Blair… they start ‘religious’ wars!... if there is such a thing! sounds like an oxymoron to me… the I Ching says ‘avoid lawsuits’ …no one ever wins… even if you win… winning leaves an atmosphere of vendetta and acrimony… winning leads to more anger…
The powerful residue of anger caused by the unfair settlement the allies forced on Germany after World War 1 gave Hitler every excuse he needed to start World War 2.
And any psychologist will tell you… the way to stop aggression is to disengage… and to remain disengaged… until time solves the problem… even if the Iraqis tear each other to pieces… it may be a necessary part of history… and it’s not our business… and only time itself heals wounds… but the corporate industrial military complex backs Israel and doesn’t want withdrawal from the Middle East… something that would at least begin moves to deescalate a situation that’s obviously getting out of hand… the Arabs are getting stronger all the time… and the Americans are providing the motivation.
So how does killing someones baby help? …it just makes them stronger and more fanatical.. how would you feel if someone came along and killed your baby?... Think about it for 1 minute...
…please close your eyes and give 1 minutes silent thought… in memoriam for the agony of all the dead babies in Iraq and Afghanistan!
What seems to be repeating itself is a crusade in the name of an archaic God which gives us ‘permission’ to destroy those who don’t believe in the same God most of us don’t believe in anymore anyway.
Only 7% of the British population goes to church these days… so it was kept under wraps that Blair was a born again Christian... there were worries people in Britain might mistrust or misjudge his decisions if they new he was ‘a Jesus freak’ …and look what he did …created a new age religious crusade ‘against the Saracen’s’…in the Name of God… Blair and Bush ‘bombed us back to the stone age!’ alright! ...to the dark age.
When will we stop believing in these manipulative antiquated fairy tales… people keep dying for… Dying for myths… religion seems to have failed the world… more people have been tortured and killed in the name of different ‘concepts of God’ than any other single cause of war… and this history repeats itself constantly… the only way to stop this pattern who knows?... read learn about history… seems to me knowledge, patience, respect and good manners might be a possible cure..!
‘The farther backwards you can look, the farther forward you are likely to see’…Sir Winston Churchill… and he knew!
Stop the Clash of Civilizations.
And America presents us with... Bloody Fallujah – without an official civilian Death Count… I leave you with a thought...
Notice how the Americans don't seem to take long to make the decision "Take 'EM OUT..."
...And that's what's so worrying for the rest of the world.
