Dixie Chicks Pulled from Air After Bashing Bush







DALLAS (Reuters) - Music superstars the Dixie Chicks are finding out that criticizing President Bush's plans for war in Iraq can cost you air play, big time.



OFF THE AIR



Station managers said their decisions were prompted by calls from irate listeners who thought criticism of the president was unpatriotic.



Houston country station KILT pulled the band's records from its playlist -- at least temporarily -- after 77 percent of people polled on its Web site said they supported the move.



"We've got them off the air for right now," said Jeff Garrison, program director at KILT, which is owned by Viacom's Infinity Broadcasting Corp.



"People are shocked. They cannot believe Texas' own have attacked the state and the president," Garrison said.

Carmelita Roybal, a ninth-grade English teacher, was placed on leave with pay Wednesday after refusing to remove a black-and-white "No War Against Iraq" poster from her classroom. Art teacher Heather Duffy was asked to leave Thursday and suspended with pay for refusing to remove a similar poster. About 45 students walked out in protest Thursday.

News Flash. There is no such thing as Freedom of Speech. There is always a price tag.



It was real weak though that the Chicks apologized. That takes the wind out of those sails.



Folks, just get used to it. There will be at least 2 years of War. The USA is determined to subdue any country that does not Kow Tow to the Multi-Nationalists.



For those with attention spans over 5 minutes read this:



        Time To Revisit Bush's Plan For Global Empire        

The official story on Iraq has never made sense. The connection that the Bush administration has tried to draw between Iraq and al-Qaida has always seemed contrived and artificial. In fact, it was hard to believe that smart people in the Bush administration would start a major war based on such flimsy evidence. The pieces just didn't fit. Something else had to be going on; something was missing.



In recent days, those missing pieces have finally begun to fall into place. As it turns out, this is not really about Iraq. It is not about weapons of mass destruction, or terrorism, or Saddam, or U.N. resolutions.



This war is intended to mark the official emergence of the United States as a full-fledged global empire, seizing sole responsibility and authority as planetary policeman. It would be the culmination of a plan 10 years or more in the making, carried out by those who believe the United States must seize the opportunity for global domination, even if it means becoming the "American imperialists" that our enemies always claimed we were.



Once that is understood, other mysteries solve themselves. For example, why does the administration seem unconcerned about an exit strategy from Iraq once Saddam is toppled?



Because we won't be leaving. Having conquered Iraq, the United States will create permanent military bases in that country from which to dominate the Middle East, including neighboring Iran.



In an interview, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld brushed aside that suggestion, noting that the United States does not covet other nations' territory. That may be true, but 57 years after World War II ended, we still have major bases in Germany and Japan. We will do the same in Iraq.



And why has the administration dismissed the option of containing and deterring Iraq, as we had the Soviet Union for 45 years? Because even if it worked, containment and deterrence would not allow the expansion of American power. Besides, they are beneath us as an empire. Rome did not stoop to containment; it conquered. And so should we.



Among the architects of this would-be American Empire are a group of brilliant and powerful people who now hold key positions in the Bush administration: They envision the creation and enforcement of what they call a worldwide "Pax Americana," or American peace. But so far, the American people have not appreciated the true extent of that ambition.



Part of it's laid out in the National Security Strategy, a document in which each administration outlines its approach to defending the country. The Bush administration plan, released Sept. 20 2002, marks a significant departure from previous approaches, a change that it attributes largely to the attacks of Sept. 11.



To address the terrorism threat, the president's report lays out a newly aggressive military and foreign policy, embracing pre-emptive attack against perceived enemies. It speaks in blunt terms of what it calls "American internationalism," of ignoring international opinion if that suits U.S. interests. "The best defense is a good offense," the document asserts.



It dismisses deterrence as a Cold War relic and instead talks of "convincing or compelling states to accept their sovereign responsibilities."



In essence, it lays out a plan for permanent U.S. military and economic domination of every region on the globe, unfettered by international treaty or concern. And to make that plan a reality, it envisions a stark expansion of our global military presence.



"The United States will require bases and stations within and beyond Western Europe and Northeast Asia," the document warns, "as well as temporary access arrangements for the long-distance deployment of U.S. troops."



The report's repeated references to terrorism are misleading, however, because the approach of the new National Security Strategy was clearly not inspired by the events of Sept. 11. They can be found in much the same language in a report issued in September 2000 by the Project for the New American Century, a group of conservative interventionists outraged by the thought that the United States might be forfeiting its chance at a global empire.



"At no time in history has the international security order been as conducive to American interests and ideals," the report said. stated two years ago. "The challenge of this coming century is to preserve and enhance this 'American peace.'

America is gonna do this, and this, and that! AMERICAN PEACE MY ASS! a very dangerous game of risk, with real people, and more DEATH! A WORLD WAR! The bullshit makes me wanna puke. Anyone condoning this is a tosser. In the UK we have chief Ministers resigning from office, huge splits in both sides of the government over night. If the war takes place, the UK government will topple. Even school kids are taking to the streets in protest. There is a huge build up of pressure in Britain and the people must not allow this war to happen. My concerns lie with MOTHER EARTH

By CNN's Grant Holloway in Sydney

CANBERRA, Australia -- The Australian government has agreed to commit troops to likely military action against Iraq following a formal request for support from U.S. President George W. Bush.



Prime Minister John Howard told media Tuesday that disarming Iraq was in Australia's best interests and that taking military action now was the right and legal thing to do.



"This decision was taken at a cabinet meeting this morning following a further telephone discussion between myself and President Bush, Howard said.

I regret that our PM has reached this conclusion.



When bombs fall the cycle of violence begins.

i am wronged and seek vengeance, you are

wronged and seek vengeance. Duality, separation

and pain.



We, the lucky ones, comfortably insulated,

can not begin to appreciate the true horrors

unleashed by this decision.



We can, however, express our peaceful solidarity.
