    Subject: [LOGES-DE-CORBEAUX] Arthur Miller on War and Peace

    Your guest, Arthur Miller asked rhetorically why Bush cannot wait until
    the UN inspectors have done their job. Indeed, UN peace keeping forces
    have been in some world situations to keep the peace for years, even
    decades. If that is how long it takes, why is that a problem to Bush?
    If he wages a "war" (really a mass murder given that his military is 1,000
    times stronger than Iraq's) the cost in lives will be in the thousands and
    perhaps even millions. The cost in material assets destroyed will be into
    the billions of dollars. By both criteria, the UN peackeepers in Iraq cost
    far, far less.

    There is an irrefutable fact here which even Bush and their war
    propagandists will not argue against.

    AS LONG AS THE UN INSPECTORS/PEACE KEEPERS ARE IN IRAQ, PEACE AND
    STABILITY IN THE REGION AND THE WORLD WILL BE MAINTAINED.

    It doesn't matter if Iraq has been in "material breech" of this or that.
    The UN inspectors will destroy the prohibited weapons. There is another
    irrefutable fact. As Madelaine Albright and others have said, there are
    some highly unpredictable aspects to a U-S-A invasion, as unpredictable as
    peace and stability are predictable by continuing with present procedures
    indefinitely. What will happen she asked, if U-S-A is in occupation of
    Baghdad, the cultural centre of the Muslim world? At a time when European
    cities were in darkness and superstition, Baghdad was a centre for
    scholarship and enlightenment. How will the Muslim world react
    psychologically to a modern occupation of Baghdad? General Scowcroft even
    opined on this being the start of the Apocalpyse. The point is that we
    don't know for sure what "war" will bring but we do know for sure what
    continuing INDEFINITELY with the present peace process will bring.

    The only certain "benefit" of this pseudo-war would be to satisfy the
    blood-lust of an alcoholic psychopath who now sits in the Whitehouse
    because he won the toss of a coin, in effect, in the last presidential
    election.
