Forget about those thousands of allied soldiers, the few hundred thousands of dead Iraqis, the few millions refugees and the billions of dollars wasted, that could have been spent on upkeeping bridges, rebuilding New Orleans, or even – very weird thought – feeding the poor or curing the sick…

No, take a wild, Dali-drenched moment to reflect on and say a prayer for the true victims of the Iraq war, and the wider war on terror:

Rumsfeld, gone.
Scooter, gone.
Rove, gone
Gonzales, gone.

Still, the war goes on and what’s old Double Duh doing about it? Yes, just the usual response. You have to give the guy points for consistency at least. And at most.

Still, he has his fans – and no, they are not all dressed in billion dollar oil suits – or all-white constraining clothes.

Some of them are just your average folks, who would just like to keep shouting their ‘Four more years! Four more years!’ forever.

Folks like you and me, in other words – well, maybe not quite like you and me…:

Family Security Matters, a neo-conservative based think tank, has published an article advocating that George W. Bush should be a dictator for life.

The article written by Philip Atkinson states that Bush would fail his country by becoming an ex-President or can achieve greatness by becoming President-for-Life Bush in order to bring sense to Congress and sanity to the Supreme Court.

Atkinson also advocates that Bush should get rid of everyone in Iraq through military force and repopulate the country with Americans.

If President Bush copied Julius Caesar by ordering his army to empty Iraq of Arabs and repopulate the country with Americans, he would achieve immediate results: popularity with his military; enrichment of America by converting an Arabian Iraq into an American Iraq (therefore turning it from a liability to an asset); and boost American prestige while terrifying American enemies.

Hear, hear.

Mind you, it’s all good and well to read this kind of nonsense, in the comfort of your own living room, sitting in a cozy chair (or in some stupid office, while your boss isn’t looking…) but spare a moment’s thought for a certain old Lady, out there in the harbour, still holding her torch so high that it hurts.

For Her all of this very bloody nonsense must be almost impossible to watch.

So, to Her our prayers and best wishes.

Keep the faith, Lady; keep the faith. You’ll see all of these useless, endlessly scheming and self-serving bastards in their graves yet.
