Sic Semper Tyrannis
The United States of America was not built to be a commercial empire, not built to become a super power, not designed to be the world's only hyper power. The fact that it has become so is due to an odd combination of the times. It won't last forever...
This is ok. Again, the USA was not built to be anything other than the land of the free and the home of the brave. And bravery is needed only to keep our people free. It would be a mistake, however, to believe that we are not built for a specific purpose...
The US is designed, from the ground up, for one specific reason, to do one specific task: to make life for Tyrants as hard as possible. America is not about Homelands, but rather about constitutions. During the darkest days of the Civil war, when the whole world waited outside to recognize America's dissolutionand the disillusion of the American peoplethe greatest president our nation had ever known stood up and made a speech. There he said that we would no longer be fighting just for the sake of being one nation, we would also fight for a bigger task; freedom for everyone. It was not until the call for Americans to free a people held in bondage went forth that America began to win the war. Singing John Brown's Body they marched into battle. Behind them they left Freedmen, and Freedmen's Bureaus. The fact that it took a generation to reconstruct a shadow of that Tyranny is a tribute to the men who ended it the first time...
And so today, we see that America has once more; this very day, 9 April 2003; fulfilled her mission. We have once more helped topple a dictator, a tyrant. We are told that the
Saddam may or may not be dead. I would prefer him alive and in our custody, awaiting trial for crimes against humanity. Baring that I would like to see him dead in a smoking pile of rubble. Ultimately it matters notdead or alive he is discredited. He will never again hold power over any but the mad...
Within 3 weeks, Genocide has been avenged, jails, FUCKING JAILS FOR CHILDREN have been liberated, mass executions, torture, state sponsored rape, and other crimes too horrendous to contemplate have all ended in at least one part of the world. All of this has been accomplished in my name. It is a proud day to be an American, a Brit, an Aussie, or especially an Iraqi...
Victory over the Baathists (VB) day is here. Tomorrow begins the long, painful work of rebuilding a nation and turning it over to its own people; people who will for the first time be, in their own country, citizens. Today is the day of Celebration...
Tomorrow we shall talk about the work.
