Unbearable Ignorance

I'm back in Non Serviam tonight due to the subjects to be addressed:

----------

Saddam to bite biggie soon
The Obama Bubble
Racism in America
etc

My visit to the kitchen/living room area just now revealed that I forgot to chop up the cucumber which was supposed to go into the pasta salad. So I totally circumcised the sucker, cut it into two halves lengthwise, scooped out the seed areas, and chopped it up. I then mixed the result into the salad (pasta, olive oil, mayo, chopped celery, chopped onion, hard-boiled eggs) and put it back in the fridge. That obligation done, I can get back to Saddam:

Today's announcement from Bagdad apparently seals Saddam's fate. Saddam may have less than a month. Apparently this decision is part of the current Iraqi-American panic concerning the level of violence over there. Hope is that Saddam's termination will produce more resignation than rage among the Sunnis. We shall see.

I am not a fan of Saddam, of course, except in retrospect. Saddam was the lid on Pandorah's Box. Bush removed the lid and all hell broke loose. What is most astonishing about Bush's decision to invade Iraq and replace Saddam with a 'democracy' is that prior to the invasion Iraq was a fairly stable Sunni state which acted as a counterbalance to the Shiite-dominated Iran. And Sunnis are by far the dominant world Muslim sect. So lessee... Bush, acting on subliminal Oedipal urges of which he was totally unaware, sought to outdo his daddy in Middle East matters. In doing so he inadvertently totally fucked up our national interests in the Middle East, but may have furthered Israel's national interests in that regard. Undaunted by this total fuckup he now seeks to ally the US with a minority Muslim sect?

Did I get that right?
