Arabian Days
Due to meditation on intimate eschatology of late, I’ve been neglecting the news. Time to check up…
I should really add to my usual exclusions of sport, finance, celebrities, Great Britain, health, tv: the entire Middle East; personally having not the faintest interest in Islam nor judeo-christianity, nor any concern for Arabic cultures, I should not care greatly what happens there so long as the West stays out and supports none of the sides — let alone impertinently rushing hysterical troops into bedrooms at night to enquire as to whether the family have anti-American attitudes ( ‘Well… not before… ) — and avoids pointless invasions. It could be made clear that aggression by individuals for the purpose of islamic imperialist fantasy would mean the instant extinction of each such individual: both the Germans and Austro-Hungarians strung up guerilla saboteurs with an entire absence of emotional distress in most wars they reluctantly engaged in. It is part of the decadence of the dominant American model that it’s excess legalism, combined with a brutish scrupulosity will not allow for swift and final action against each terrorist. Although this does allow for torture and mass-bombing against people far away who have nothing to do with the terrorists.
Life would be so much simpler if the Middle East could be utterly ignored, except for their present artistic and cultural achievements fraternally offered in the cause of World Peace. They’d still sell us oil…
So the news is…
75 Afghanis killed by troops.
Hamas takes over Gaza.
Libya releases convicted medics ( accused of deliberately injecting children with AIDs ) 8 years too late. The EU instantly promises to improve Libyan hospitals.
Pakistani terrorist kills himself with hand grenade.
The Taliban promise to release hostages on a one-to-one basis.
The United Nations will send nuclear inspectors to Iran.
Iran arrests 14 Squirrels for spying.
Back to the Four Final Things.
