11-04-2003 11:09amThere was a really good article by Gunter Grass—yes that one, the Nobel Laureate—in the LA Times a few days ago. The URL is http://www.latimes.com/news/printedition/opinion/la-war-oegrass7apr07,1,6409115.story
but I’ve taken the liberty of printing it here as the LA Times’ site requires registration and will take you a few minutes to log in, despite the fact that it’s free of charge.
Dunno if my doing so conflicts with acceptable-use rules. If comment is required, I would just say that I fully concur with everything he says about the meaning of being pro-or anti-American, and why that country's great values are being betrayed.Only he puts it a lot better than I would.
Well that’s what he gets Nobel prizes for.
Admire:
Core Values?!
by Gunter Grass; Los Angeles Times; April 07, 2003
BEHLENDORF, Germany. A war long sought and planned for is now underway. All deliberations and warnings of the United Nations notwithstanding, an overpowering military apparatus has attacked preemptively in violation of international law. No objections were heeded. The Security Council was disdained and scorned as irrelevant. As the bombs fall and the battle for Baghdad continues, the law of might prevails.
And based on this injustice, the mighty have the power to buy and reward those who might be willing and to disdain and even punish the unwilling. The words of the current American president -- "Those not with us are against us" -- weighs on current events with the resonance of barbaric times. It is hardly surprising that the rhetoric of the aggressor increasingly resembles that of his enemy. Religious fundamentalism leads both sides to abuse what belongs to all religions, taking the notion of "God" hostage in accordance with their own fanatical understanding. Even the passionate warnings of the pope, who knows from experience how lasting and devastating the disasters wrought by the mentality and actions of Christian crusaders have been, were unsuccessful.
Disturbed and powerless, but also filled with anger, we are witnessing the moral decline of the world's only superpower, burdened by the knowledge that only one consequence of this organized madness is certain: Motivation for more terrorism is being provided, for more violence and counter-violence. Is this really the United States of America, the country we fondly remember for any number of reasons? The generous benefactor of the Marshall Plan? The forbearing instructor in the lessons of democracy? The candid self-critic? The country that once made use of the teachings of the European Enlightenment to throw off its colonial masters and to provide itself with an exemplary constitution? Is this the country that made freedom of speech an incontrovertible human right?
It is not just foreigners who cringe as this ideal pales to the point where it is now a caricature of itself. There are many Americans who love their country too, people who are horrified by the betrayal of their founding values and by the hubris of those holding the reins of power. I stand with them. By their side, I declare myself pro-American. I protest with them against the brutalities brought about by the injustice of the mighty, against all restrictions of the freedom of expression, against information control reminiscent of the practices of totalitarian states and against the cynical equations that make the death of thousands of women and children acceptable so long as economic and political interests are protected.
No, it is not anti-Americanism that is damaging the image of the United States; nor do the dictator Saddam Hussein and his extensively disarmed country endanger the most powerful country in the world. It is President Bush and his government that are diminishing democratic values, bringing sure disaster to their own country, ignoring the United Nations, and that are now terrifying the world with a war in violation of international law.
We Germans often are asked if we are proud of our country. To answer this question has always been a burden. There were reasons for our doubts. But now I can say that the rejection of this preemptive war on the part of a majority in my country has made me proud of Germany. After having been largely responsible for two world wars and their criminal consequences, we seem to have made a difficult step. We seem to have learned from history.
The Federal Republic of Germany has been a sovereign country since 1990. Our government made use of this sovereignty by having the courage to object to those allied in this cause, the courage to protect Germany from a step back to a kind of adolescent behavior. I thank Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder and his foreign minister, Joschka Fischer, for their fortitude in spite of all the attacks and accusations, from abroad and from within.
Many people find themselves in a state of despair these days, and with good reason. Yet we must not let our voices, our no to war and yes to peace, be silenced. What has happened? The stone that we pushed to the peak is once again at the foot of the mountain. But we must push it back up, even with the knowledge that we can expect it to roll back down again.0

More anti-American hate speech.

here we go again :rolleyes:
I'll try not to get myself an early coronary, banned, or the thread locked ....Originally posted by Biffa Bacon
Completely disingenuous. He is suggesting that the UN speaks with one voice when quite obviously it does not.
Ummmm. That's the point of the UN. And just about every one of those voices WAS voicing protest at the current US administration's activities.
If it is in violation of international law, and it’s far from universally accepted that it is, then international law is an ass.
WTF??? Are you stupid or do you find that you have to work at it? Which part of the various treaties being mentioned by others (which I'm not go to repeat ad nauseum) do you not cop onto abou the legality of this war (or lack thereof)??
And this is a bad thing?
So why did America go back and try to get a 17th and then an 18th resolution?
Because it would have given them access to various countries facilities in the end. Which didn't happen because a) the UN didn't sanction it and b) they side-stepped the UN because it looked like they might have a tough fight to presuade people that war WAS the best option.
Of course it’s irrelevant. If the Security Council refuses to enforce its own mandatory resolutions, then what is the point?
To say that the minority should dictate to the majority is a dangerous precendent. Also, the security council is only as powerful as the resources that it's members give it. Since the US is the largest military resource provider of the UN (iirc), then surely you should be levelling this accusation at the US as well then, no?? :rolleyes:
Not the law of might, the law of justice and humanity.
Really??? What would you call war? Just? Humane? Diplomatic? Graceful? Elegant? Compasionate?
War is the most base level of human interaction. It is the complete and utter failure of humanity. There is no justice in war. Only survivors. Everyone is game. Bullets and bombs do not discriminate. Shrapenel does not discriminate. Chemicals do not discriminate. Bayonets do not discriminate.
The law of might says one thing and one thing only. "Those with the largest guns/most powerful weapons are ALWAYS right." I do believe the other term for that is "bully". The same people who beat up weaker kids in the playground for fun. IE. SCUM.
So?
the finest response to anything I've ever read. It only shows your absolute inability to think for yourself. Absolute apathy.
France disdained for its shameful stance? Boo-hoo.
Au contraire. France did it's duty. War is the final step in politics and should never be entered into lightly. France upheld that. The current US administration did the opposite, singing "Hi ho Hi Ho .. it's off to war we go!"
What disgusting moral equivalence. This guy is sick.
In light of your comments about war being just and humane we should be calling YOU sick and utterly of disgusting moral values.
Now you know how the Iraqis felt when they saw on their TV sets millions of misguided souls like yourself marching against war.
SO you're a mind-reader now, eh? I would think that most people in Iraq were hoping not to have bombs landing in their laps rather than beggnig the CoW to bomb, kill, or maim them, their families, and everyone/thing they know.
What kind of sick scumbag thinks bringing democracy and human rights to a horribly oppressed people represents a “moral decline”?
Whether or not democracy and human rights are delivered to the Iraqis remains to be seen Biffa. Need I also remind you that you cannot force democracy on a populace, since that is the opposite of what democracy is. The right to choose.
A democratic Middle East, starting with Iraq, is part of the process of removing the root causes of terrorism.
Actually, examining foreign policy is the start to removing the root causes of terrorism. Do you think the ME just hated the US over night?? It happened over time. Just like Ireland & the UK. Just like India & Pakistan. Bombing innocents inflames hatred. That's all.0 -
If it is in violation of international law, and it’s far from universally accepted that it is, then international law is an ass.
At present, international law is an ass. But as Grass says:we must not let our voices, our no to war and yes to peace, be silenced. What has happened? The stone that we pushed to the peak is once again at the foot of the mountain. But we must push it back up, even with the knowledge that we can expect it to roll back down again.0 -

Wha-a-at? Let's remind ourselves what he said:

You call that hate speak? To paraphrase another great American, Groucho Marx: 'That's a new definition of hate speak with which I'm not familiar'0 -
Don't forget like lot of you do. Saddam is bad.
I don't know what some of your definitions of evil are, but Saddam fits mine.
I really don't understand why people support Saddam so much. I understand the French doing it for the money. What are your excuses?0 -

For those with rather dodgy vision and/or brain's unable to grasp simple concepts ....
_I_ _DO_ _NOT_ _SUPPORT_ _SADDAM_ _HUSSSEIN_
My objections arise from a number of other issues, such as the US unilateralist approach, violating decades worth of treaties, agreements, and political building for what seem EXTREMELY dubious reasons.
It is possible to be pro-american, yet not agree with the current activities. Friends do not always agree. Friends will tell you when you are doing something VERY bad not out of spite, but to stop you from getting hurt.
ALSO
the US actions are destabilishing world politics. The Turks are already itching to go into N.Iraq on a "pre-emptive" strike of their own following the US. The Indians & Pakistanis are now using the same excuse, the Israelis are at it again seeing how the US does it, and there will be more for sure.
Leaders lead by example. Some example! :rolleyes:0 -
Well they seem to wish he was still in power.
Armed militias
Doctors defending hospitals with ak47's from looters.
No Law and order (very important Human rights etc)
a country on the break of 3 way partition
Suicide bombers
Arab national separatists
Kurdish infighting
Probable Turkish invasion
Shia infighting
10,000 dead civilians
uranium bullets and carpet bombs
Unknown dead civil and military admin 10,000-50,000?
No poloice
No army
No civil service
Rumsfeld on the telly smiling and joking at the idea of all the above..its bull man.
I could go on
America’s friend for 30 yrs but they needed a diversion from the econmy and back their Zionist friends....the Iraqis? Who gives a ****.0 -

No-one has said that they liked having Saddam in power. The fact of the matter remains.....the U.S. attemped to use WMDs as a smokescreen to secure an invasion of Iraq, for whatever purpose. He went in anyway. Illegally. I said all this in another thread.
The fact of the matter is, war is always the last option and almost never the only option. If Bush was so unhappy about Saddam being in power, then the UN could have worked towards peaceful ways of removing him from power, without throwing World politics into disarray. Instead, he lied, failed to get backing and went in anyway, when political options were 1) Working and 2) far from exhausted.
I'm glad that Saddam is gone, but upset that the Americans won, simply because I would have like to see the Americans bitten, and maybe Bush would think twice before pushing war on anyone else.
It may take longer to remove him peacfully, but it would have been well worth it. If only to give that boy back his arms and his family, a few more years under Saddam for the entire population would be well worth it.
If Saddam couldn't have been removed peacefully, and the UN decided that force was the only option, then I'd back them. Most of it's major players have had cities devastated and chunks of their populations killed. I trust them, they won't do anything too rash. The Americans haven't experienced it. 9/11 and Pearl Harbour were both minor compared to the devastation in Europe in WWII, and far from making the US afraid, it just made them angry. That's why I don't trust Bush to make the right decision. His population would seem to prefer him to proactively 'defend' the US, because they have no horrible history to learn from.

Meh,
Firstly, there are 1100 to 1400 dead already. Civilians only. Then there are the military dead. There estimates range from 4 to 10 thousand. We may never know how many in reality, thanks to the lovely technique the US had of bulldozing trenches with men in them. The ICRC has offically given up trying to count the civilian wounded flowing through hospitals around baghdad, and despite all of this, the war is not over yet! MOABs are being shipped to the gulf, Tikrit has not yet been assaulted, and large sections of the country were bypassed and unchallanged.
And to make all this even worse, the body count today is the best news that will come from this war. We have a humanitarian crisis brewing in the major cities, water supplies are iffy, the WHO is going frantic at the probability of a cholera or dysentry outbreak in Basra and Baghdad, and we haven't seen refugees yet because the food crisis hasn't fully hit home yet. The damage to Iraqi infrastructure is enormous and estimates are that it will take $4 billion to repair.
Wait a few months. Then tell us that onlt a few thousand died because of the war. The total for the last one was 100,000 iraqis dead because of the war, but only a few percent of those died during the war. The others died as a result of the disease, wounds, famine or environmental poisoning from things like DU weapons.
And this war looks like it's going to be far worse in that regard.0 -

Infrasture can be rebuilt & humanitarian crisis can be resolved.
Saddam is a brutal and evil dictator. The Iraqis lived in fear of touture & were clearly oppressed under his reign.
The Iraqis would not be able to get rid of this tyrant on their own. Now - he is gone. Sanctions can be lifted and the lot of the average Iraqi will improve.
The US & UK went to war without the second mandate. Sanctions did not work & 1441 was not complied with.
The global community now need to focus on Iraq. It is time to stop continuing on about were the US & UK right. Saddam is gone & the situation has moved on.
In my openion Bush and Blair were right. There is an equally valid contrary view.
But the focus should now be on the Iraqis. Saddam is gone. Good Riddance. We need to focus in on the lot of the Iraqi people.0 -

It'd be nice, wouldn't it? "Ah for God sake Garda, that was 2 weeks ago I was drink-driving! It's time to move on." Cork, whether this war was right or wrong is a purely moralistic question. However, the UK & US must be brought to book for 1) Breaking international law and 2) killing civilians & military of another country for (what now seems to be) an unfounded cause.

The UN can multitask. God knows it does it all the time. Debating on the Internet, there's not really much we can do to help the Iraqis, spare donating money. What is there to focus on? Where best to send supplies? How best to manage hospitals? The UN will give aid regardless. We can take that for granted and almost forget about it.
We can't forget about what Bush and Blair have done though.0 -

The Iraqis who were shouting with Joy with the ridding Iraq of an evil & brutal dictator views need also be taken on board.
The Iraqis would not have gotten rid of Saddam on their own. Sanctions did not loosen Saddams grip on power. He did not comply with resolution 1441.
Bush & Blair need to be commended for ridding Iraq of Saddam.
There are 2 views on this subject. Everything is not either black or white. I see your points (that are perfectly valid) but there is another equally valid arguement that was taken on board by the US & UK.0 -
Cork,
There's a fantastic optimistic streak through your postings - but it is so optimistic that it seems to ignore reality.Infrasture can be rebuilt & humanitarian crisis can be resolved.Saddam is a brutal and evil dictator. The Iraqis lived in fear of touture & were clearly oppressed under his reign.The Iraqis would not be able to get rid of this tyrant on their own. Now - he is gone.Sanctions can be lifted and the lot of the average Iraqi will improve.The US & UK went to war without the second mandate. Sanctions did not work & 1441 was not complied with.The global community now need to focus on Iraq.
Whether or not the full focus shoul be on Iraq is debatable - the Congo, Zimbabwe, and Burma are as much in need of humanitarian aid as Iraq, so is the DPRK and some others. Also, the SARS virus needs addressing (The WHO is having kittens on that one) and the AIDS epidemic in africa is out of control (and bush's promised aid to that program now turns out to be less helpful than was initially suggested by his state of the union speech).It is time to stop continuing on about were the US & UK right.
The UN must also face evaluation, and especially the veto arrangements for the UNSC.Saddam is gonethe situation has moved on.In my openion Bush and Blair were right. There is an equally valid contrary view.
We need now to resolve that conflict.But the focus should now be on the Iraqis. Saddam is gone. Good Riddance. We need to focus in on the lot of the Iraqi people.0 -

US marines found more nuclear materials in three weeks than twelve years of inspections did.
FYI The UN has only backed two wars. Korea and Gulf War 1. Both left the job unfinished with problems festering.
The Kosovo attack was not UN santioned why don't some of you try to bring responsible countries to task for that?
Thousands of innocents died in Africa this week from fighting. Where are the protestors? What about in Cheniyea(sp)? Hyprocites?
Saddam is the bad guy. He killed millions. He attacked five of his neighbors. He tortures millions. Iraqis seem happy he is gone. He has WMD. He lead his country to ruin. He isolated his country internationally.Why do some of you like him so much and hate the US?
One final note many of you wouldn't like. No US in NATO means no NATO. NO US in the UN means the end of the UN. The USA are your friends and allies not your enemies.0 -

Killed two million people, attacked Iran, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qutar and Israel. Tortures people. Hung a little girl for waving at a helicopter. Arrested and tourtered people for walking too close to a palace. Kidnaps women to be sex toys. Owns torture chambers. Has torture centers. Killed a mamber of Iraqi soccer team for losing a game. Killed 8,000 people with chemichals. Brutally crushes any form of dissent. Can and does excute people for not saying,"god protect Saddam at the end of sentences. People are tied up and electroucted for looking at the wrong person. If a child says something negative about Saddam the whole family is excuted as being bad influence to the child. Does this cutting out of your tounge thing that makes me sick just thinking about.
Man I really can go on for pages and pages. If you are trying to set me up by saying stupid **** like,"but America...... this and that." And cutting up my statement line by line pulling **** out of context. Don't even start I have seen how some of you operate.

BDC,US marines found more nuclear materials in three weeks than twelve years of inspections did.
I fail to see how they can have found more nuclear material in three weeks than the UN, when they had to break UN seals to get to the material...
BTW, I think you'll find that Scott Ritter's UNSCOM teams destroyed more weaponry in Iraq in their tenure than the first gulf war did, and all without killing anyone.FYI The UN has only backed two wars. Korea and Gulf War
And frankly, the fact that it's not a bloodthirsy organisation is a good thing...1. Both left the job unfinished with problems festering.
The first gulf war was sanctioned under UNSC resolution 678. 678 called for full compliance with resolution 660. And by the end of the gulf war, 660 was being complied with. The fact that the US then went on to attack troops covered by the geneva convention isn't down to the UNSC, though their failure to condemn the act effectively certainly is. And oddly enough, there were no problems left festering afterwards - or have they since discovered weapons of mass destruction or giant armies ready to invade another country in Iraq?
Secondly, the US decided to attack the DPRK before the UN sanction came into effect. The US had their asses handed to them several times until the other UN countries entered the war. Joined by 31 other countries, the UNC pushed the DPRK back to the 38th parallel, thus fulfilling the UN mandate - and then decided to push further, got hammered when China got worried and reinforced the DPRK and eventually the '53 armistice had to be signed. In other words, because the US didn't stop at the limits of the mandate, lots of people died needlessly. So please don't blame the UN for the US's messes, when the UN is who cleans them up.

However I feel you won't belive it anyhow. There are other sources for this story, feel free to look them up for yourself. And please spare me a propaganda rant.
Honestly do you feel Saddam has no WMD?
Honestly do you think after twelve years inspections would work? Saddam didn't even start to cooperate till 300,000 troops parked outside his boarder.
The UN will turn into another League of Nations without the US. The UN needs the US, the US does not need the UN. If the USA is as evil as so mnay here like to think, why is the US in the UN at all?

Just the cut and paste tool I didn't want to deal with.
I repeat.
Fact US soilders found Nuclear material Blix missed.
Fact Korea and Gulf War 1 Left business unfinished. I am sitting close to Korean boarder and you are trying to tell me things are fine. 300,000 troops in Iraq finishing what GW1 didnt.
Fact Iraq attacked Iran, Kuwait, SaudiAraiba, Qutar and Israel.DUH!
Fact Saddam is a very bad person who is a threat to regional and world stability. You really still don't see that? You back Saddam I want him gone that is causing problems around the world. Your response is But this... and but that ... You need to pull your head out of your ass and smell the coffee.
You seem like a person will argue any fact no matter what I say or what facts I present. You wont even accept the fact that Saddam is very bad. I don't think it is possible to communicate with you on a level that requires thought.
And for goodness sake, if you are going to do this cut and paste bull****. At least use whole sentences 'ya tool.0
