So Al-Qaeda. Is it real? Or is it like your father dressed up on Christmas?
Hey George Orwell! A little help?
Yesterday the headlines blarred out that the U.S. Bombed the hell out of Al-Qaeda in Somolia. What the hell? How exactly does a dried out rural village in a region without adequate food manage to threaten the U.S., and all the while ringing up Bin-Ladin to plan tactics. Every newspaper on the planet that made reference to the U.S. Bombing Al-Qaeda was full of shit. All it was, was an overly loaded military bombing the shit out of a poor and utterly defenseless village in Somolia. Why is there not an embargo against the U.S. for this stunt? The world went to war with Iraq in the 1990s for an unprovoked attack on foreign soil, so why not now with Washington?
Also, I'm hard pressed to believe that there ever was such a thing as Al-Qaeda, and I'm even more skeptical to the thought that they would be mulling about the Eastern horn of Africa just waiting for their move. Oh yeah, there are shit loads of political and social connections between Afghanistan and Somalia, just like there are between the late Saddam Hussien and the Taliban. Let's not forget the famous geopolitical axis of leprechauns, elves and fairies. I mean if we're writing fiction, let's not stop, you know?
It's unreal that one of the shit poorest places on earth, so poor that most of the world just doesn't give a shit, had to bear the brunt of a full military attack because the president of the U.S.A. needed to justify sending another 20,000 souls to a fictious war to be butchered. This is what you're up against.
Happy 2007.
Oh yeah, and global warming is fucking us all dead. I'd like to shine my ass directly at the American voter and ask why the fuck you people voted in Mr. 'War with everyone' rather than than a guy who actually says that he gives a shit about climate change. Face it. Your political system is fucked beyond belief, and it impacts the whole goddamn planet. Can't you people have a revolution and set things right?

Comments:
why haven't there been any suicide bombings in America yet? It wouldn't take much would it. it happens in israel and iraq all the time, why not in the U S o A?
Al-Qaeda either doesn't exist or isn't 0.1% of 0.1% of the power that it is often claimed to be.

Interesting question. And while Israel and Iraq have learned to deal with suicide bombings to a certain extent, the US hasn't. One moderately "successful" (i.e., terrible) bombing would cause mass panic and wall-to-wall media hype. Which would make it a fairly obvious choice for any group trying to target the US (or NZ, or Australia). They wouldn't even need to target trains, a la London or Madrid.
Meanwhile, ~120 Americans die in motor vehicle accidents everyday. And 10 Canadians. And 1 New Zealander.
