"Power don't come from a badge or a gun. Power comes from lying. Lying big and gettin' the whole damn world to play along with you. Once you've got everybody agreeing with what they know in their hearts ain't true, you've got 'em by the balls."
-- Frank Miller, Sin City
Frank Miller has been in the limelight lately for all the comics he wrote and all the adaptations that are turning out so well on screen. The film noir kind of movies that are almost taken directly out of the panels of his comics. 300 was his latest and visually nicest adaptation to screen. The way he writes, it's brilliant! He writes with such gusto, he's blunt and drives the point across. His stories have guts and sometimes, it's the cold, hard truth.
However, the quote above about sums up President Bush's outright lie about Saddam Hussein's Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) and his need for continued support on his war on terrorism. Kind of sad once you find out the truth. Nobody has a crystal ball that can see the future, but still, time only tells if you're telling the truth. It's all about the oil, all about the spice. There have been comparisons with Bush and Hitler, tyrant, usurper and idiot. Oops, did I say that out loud?
Perhaps Bush liberated the people of Iraq from their dictator/tyrant Saddam, but how much better off are they now? Their country is still in chaos, suicide bombing left and right. US Marines dying lie flies every day. It's sad that he still doesn't realise that he's lost and pull out. And what's worse, it's been almost 6 years since 9/11 and they still haven't been able to catch Osama. I bet Osama's laughing away at Bush every morning when he wakes up from his mountain hideout; Laughing every day he doesn't get caught and manages to cook up another evil scheme to shame the western world.
America's in the cross-hairs of everyone. They need loads of goodwill gestures to redeem themselves. How much longer can they hold out?
