Feeling Safe?

August 03 2003

I wonder if anyone is starting to feel safe now that we have bombed Afghanistan into a moonscape, (as if that hadn’t been done already) turfed out the Talaban and put a different band of war-lords in power.  Since then a French oil tanker was disabled by terrorists and suicide bombers have killed dozens of people in Bali and Kenya and an Israeli passenger jet barely escaped being shot down by a hand-held rocket launchers.

So now we are planning to bomb the stuffing out of Iraq (as if that hasn’t been done already too) and leave a generation of starving limbless children behind to show the world how much we detest terrorism.

Gee, I’m starting to feel safe already.
