Little Mr Mahatma

The Bush Solution
Poor George W. Bush. He's found himself fighting two wars. One religious, the other political. The first: Bush is on a Crusade. He knows it. We know it. Christian America vs. the Islamic Middle East in a War for Salvation. He needs to make the area ready for Armageddon so that the New Testament prophecies can be fulfilled and he can be seen as something of a Saviour. The problem is the political war, also in the Middle East, to spread Democracy, to supposedly bring stability and peace to the region. The two wars are for opposing ends but I believe that if Big Bubba is re-elected he will solve both problems in one big act.


He will nuke Mecca. Seriously. Bush will announce that if things in the Middle East don't go his way he'll nuke the holiest city in Islam. And you know someone will conveniently call his bluff.


Nuke Mecca and Armageddon starts with a vicious blow to Islam. Mid East peace? Forget it. There won't be a Middle East once the nukes start flying. Problems solved...although the Muslims in Indonesia might be a bit peeved but Bush will show his teeth to them and they'll shut up. The Jews in America might be a bit miffed that Israel no longer exists but they'll be too busy fending off the Homeland Defense Brownshirts. Sure, the Church of the Sepulchre will be ashes but, hey, "ashes to ashes, dust to dust" and there will be a scale replica at BibleThumperLand.


Funny thing is, after the radioactive dust has settled, there will be no horns a-blaring. No Messiah dressed in white descending from the sky. No Judgement Day. No return of the dead. No real Armageddon, just bodies and blood. And, as usual, Bush will stand there looking lost.


Less Intelligence
If elected Bush will somehow have to keep his promise of tax cuts while raising monies for various offices and departments. I think I figured out how he'll do it. He'll close down all Intelligence services - CIA, FBI, NSA, and the rest. Let's face it, Bush doesn't listen to them and doesn't need them since he's proven repeatedly that he's low on intelligence and high on intution (bad on you if you thought he was high on cocaine or alcohol). Bush doesn't act on deep analysis. By closing these unnecessary agencies down Bush will be able to fund the other departments and he'll shrink the Government, which is a direct part of the Conservative platform. If Bush does ever need Intelligence services he can contract out to the Israeli Mossad, British MI5, or somesuch.


And face it, Bush looks to his advisors - Cheney, Rove, Rice, and others - for intelligence. Bush is a man of single-minded action. They say "Invade Iraq!" and we invade Iraq, despite the warnings from the so-called Intelligence people. CIA says Iraq may, at best, erupt in civil war but Bush (after a flip-flop) says the CIA is wrong and things are just peachy in Iraq.


Yeah, close down the services, sell off the hard assets, and send me my tax cut!


Reality vs. Fantasy
Ultimately, reality wins out. You can believe the earth is flat but reality proves otherwise. You can believe the earth (and everything else) was created in six days by a Creator (who may or may not have created itself) but reality shows otherwise. You can believe in a God or Gods that randomly fulfill and ignore your prayers or you can non-randomly ignore them and get on with making your life better. You can believe that God speaks only through money-seeking televangelists or grenade-launching fanatics, or you can believe that God speaks to everyone equally, or you can ignore God and all the hypocrises and baggage that go with human-perverted dogma. Children are born with no concept of God but they know how to explore - that's reality. Is it right to curb that curiosity with mind-numbing dogma about a fantasy? Is it right to downplay how amazing our world by comparing to the unattainable fantasy called Heaven? Is it right to lay the conceptual burden of Hell on kids when they just want to get through another day at school?


Worse, we have folks battling over which Prophet or Messenger or Messiah is the greater. If God is one then there should be no battle - period. Prophets, Messiahs, Messengers are not God and to worship them as anything more is an affront to God (Commandment #1 / #2) so, again, these battles aren't holy or sanctified, they're stupid. Here's an idea: Want to find out which non-God God is most powerful? Wait for them to return and let them battle it out. While waiting, shelve the armaments, and go play with the kids, tend the garden, do something productive.
