Nothing But Politics

[Amaunet]

Why are not more American Jews speaking out against the Nazi policy of this administration? It was Hitler’s philosophy that made the holocaust possible, the policy always comes first. Is not the idea behind keeping the holocaust visibly in the minds of the world a means to prevent another from taking place? A pre-emptive strike can be waged against a country or a people. Shouldn’t any potential for another repeat of the darkest moment in our history be stopped at the beginning or with the philosophy? Here we have the identical strategy that enabled the Nazi’s to implement their heinous crimes, yet for many of the American Jews this seems fine. Is it because they are programmed by or locked into their party so securely they have lost the ability to think objectively? Bush’s pre-emptive approach was condemned by Nuremberg, in that it is the very same agenda once used by Germany, why does this not transcend party lines? The Israeli Jews seem to have caught on, I assume this is why they have given Sharon only a 33 per cent approval rating, but many of the American Jews are looking a lot like the self-absorbed Christian right, oblivious to reality, which is almost as frightening as the course of action set forth.

I am not a Democrat. But I cannot tell my children I listened to Bush; I understood the monstrous ambition he laid bare yet I lacked the strength of character to step out of ‘the box’ and try and do something to stop the ‘policy’.

"To initiate a war of aggression," said the judges in the Nuremberg trial of the Nazi leadership, "is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole." In stating this guiding principle of international law, the judges specifically rejected German arguments of the "necessity" for pre-emptive attacks against other countries.

The true horror of this administration’s pre-emptive policy is that it is based on SUSPICION. Suspicion is the act or an instance of suspecting something wrong without proof or on slight evidence No proof is required. In the wake of Sept. 11, we are told, a preemptive strike against Iraq (or any other unfriendly government or suspected terrorist state) is our absolute right as an aggrieved nation. Proof of hostile actions or evil intentions directed against the US is not necessary, just a reasonable suspicion that the bad actor in Baghdad wishes us ill and might, at some future date, act out his aggressive fantasies

Even more disturbing, however, the doctrine of preemption threatens not only to extend American hyperpower across the globe without limits, but to legitimize any nation's attack on any other based not on existing but on perceived threat. It vastly expands the scope of legitimate state-to-state combat. Such a change could redound against the United States should other beleaguered nations facing the specter of weapons of mass destruction-India, once again, could be a case in point-apply the administration's preemptive framework and let loose the dogs of war. The commentariat has debated ad nauseum exactly what “proof” George Bush and Tony Blair have of Iraq's misdeeds, but this line of questioning misses the point: for a preemptive strike, they need not proof but merely suspicion.

On Sept. 14, 2002, President Bush signed a secret document, National Security Presidential Directive 17, which stated, in part: "The United States will continue to make clear that it reserves the right to respond with overwhelming force—including potentially nuclear weapons—to the use of [weapons of mass destruction] against the United States, our forces abroad, and friends and allies."

We can attack any country with nuclear weapons merely on suspicion that they might be a threat someday.
