Pacifica Commentary for March 29, 2006
Can You Top This?
The Third Reich conducted an evil holocaust of innocent people. This was a nightmarish attempt to destroy the Jewish people while including Gypsies, gays, communists and other non-Arians.
Having learned nothing at all from history, our current administration is on the verge of starting another horrific holocaust. With no ethics and no morality Washington is plotting, planning and conspiring to commit nuclear devastation. This time the ovens will be airborne and indiscriminate. But military double speak refers to these new models of tactical nuclear weapons as if they were both harmless and helpful.
The scientific community differs with the perpetrators of this nuclear holocaust. The current models can do as much or more devastation than did the ovens that vaporized Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The King of Jordan warned this week that any such attack on Iran by either the U.S. or Israel will send the Middle East into flames.
But the United States has just issued a strategic doctrine paper announcing that it will use nuclear weapons in any future conflicts when and how it wishes. This doctrine has gone beyond the limits of the Third Reich in its cynical disregard for the human race.
If we considered Hitler's methods as crass examples of social psychosis, exactly how shall we categorize the current plans of the Bush Administration?
Of course, it is our duty to demand opposition to this murderous policy from the Congress that is supposed to represent us and we must do that.
But friends, at this critical moment in history, we must do something else. We must contact each and every member of the Supreme Court and remind them that the power of Judicial Review applies to foreign as well as domestic policy. That's right, the Supreme Court has the power to declare any act of the President unconstitutional. It seems to me that even a right wing batch of justices can understand that the current irrational, illegal, immoral and suicidal plans of this failed administration must be curtailed.
Demand that the Supreme Court initiate the process of denunciation of the Executive. Let the censure, impeachment and conviction begin before millions of our own citizens and our neighbors on the planet die unnecessarily in an international holocaust.
