If Tony Blair and George Bush want to end their
respective Premiership and Presidency on the politically
moral high ground, they should formally declare
all coalition forces will leave both Iraq and
Afghanistan before Easter 2007.
How
many more Irish-born coalition troops will be
sacrificed in these two war-torn nations as a
final move to prevent the various religious and
tribal factions from gutting each in a bloody
civil war?
What
Blair and Bush seem to have forgotten is religious
slaughter and tribal butchering have been national
pastimes for the Iraqi and Afghan peoples for
centuries.
All
toppling the tyrant Saddam did was set the scene
for an even bloodier litany of massacres as the
various brands of militancy prepare to indulge
in ethnic cleansing.
The
totally righteous stringing up of the guilty Saddam
is likely to provoke every 'bark at the moon'
radical insurgent in Iraq to go 'clean buck daft',
launching a last-ditch programme of slaughter
against coalition troops.
In
Britain, Labour is losing bucketfuls of political
credibility; in the United States, Bush has just
cost his Republican Party control of two key legislative
parliaments – the Senate and House of Representatives.
Many
Iraqis and Afghans since the Middle East Crusades
of the 12th century have settled their internal
tribal conflicts not by consensus politics, but
by the sword.
What
is needed is a fundamentalist Islamic homeland
involving Iraq and Afghanistan where the various
blood lust factions can settle their differences
through religious pogroms.
If
we don't provide the blood thirsty sects which
make up modern day insurgency with this homeland
for mayhem, then more innocent coalition soldiers
will be coming home in body bags.
Given
the rapid deterioration into civil war in this
part of the Middle East, the danger is that this
trickle of dead coalition troops may well descend
into a Vietnam War-style flood. Instead of counting
our war dead in dozens, we will be adding them
up in thousands.
And
there's also the rising threat Islamist radicals
will unleash their suicide bombers in Britain
and Ireland, in spite of all the well-spun waffle
from Dublin government ministers the danger from
Islamic militants is a myth.
But
why would the American State Department warn up
to six different radical terror groups had cells
on the island of Ireland? Forty years of the sectarian
conflict in Ireland has produced the clear conclusion
you only need a terrorist cell if you are planning
to murder someone.
What
the London and Dublin governments could constructively
complete to aid the establishment of a radical
Islamic homeland in Iraq and Afghanistan, is to
start organising a programme of resettlement of
fundamentalist Muslims from Ireland back to these
countries.
Coupled
with the rapidly growing ethnic communities in
Ireland, it is only a matter of time before the
ghost of fascist Blueshirts boss General Eoin
O'Duffy re-appears to encourage a populist party
or candidates to campaign on expelling migrant
workers, asylum seekers and known radical sympathisers
from the island.
If
Bush and Blair really want to have a war with
someone, why not invade the former British colony
of Rhodesia and depose President Robert Mugabe,
Africa's version of the communist tyrant Joe Stalin?
Meanwhile,
civil partnerships, which legally put gay and
lesbian 'marriages' on a par with conventional
Christian heterosexual unions, have chalked up
their first anniversary in the North – and
there's still not a cheep from the legions of
so-called God-fearing clerics.
Indeed,
when are we going to see Ireland's Christian clerics
stand up for the rights and sanctity of the Biblical
marriage? You would almost think many clerics
have lost the bottle to defend the Christian faith
for fear of being branded fascist, Nazi or homophobic.
Why
must organising against what is anti-Biblical
be left to fringe churches, such as Paisley's
Free Presbyterians?
When
are the mainstream churches going to take a positive
stand – based on Scripture – against
secular trends in our society which are diluting
the role of the normal Christian home?
Political
correctness has gone insane. At this rate of mental
madness, its only a matter of time before Christmas
cards are banned, festive religious carol singers
will be fined, and the age of sexual consent lowered
to 13.
