KISSs Gene Simmons who usually keeps quite
on political issues decided to break his silence last week about his feelings
on the war with Iraq.
He posted the following statement on his
official website Genesimmons.com (warning, the statement contains language
that may be offensive to some readers. But its Gene Simmons and
you should know that. )
Woke up this morning to the site of Saddam
Hussein's head, torn from its metallic statue base, in downtown Baghdad,
being ridden by Iraqi's!!! I saw Iraqi's running through the streets waving
American flags.
I also watched with interest how the UN
was insisting it had to play the major role in rebuilding Iraq.
And, of course, the French/Chirac led government
and, I might add the German government (who only last week on CNN
strongly urged that Hussein be removed -- without so much as lifting a
finger to do anything about it), insisted that they be allowed to be involved
in the rebuilding of Iraq.
In jail, bending over for the soap is not
a good idea. In life, the words SUCK MY BALLS in response, might be appropriate
in this instance.
Further, I would like to add my condolences
to all the American and British and yes, the Iraqi families that lost loved
ones in this struggle...while the American media (the New York Times, the
Washington Post and other "respected" newspapers) routinely trounced the
war effort.
My heart goes out to people who suffer.
And, although "Might makes Right" does not necessarily follow, in this
case it does. Better the good guys be Mighty, than the bad guys.
As for being a Liberal. I am!!! I believe
in equality -- for everyone. I believe prejudice is the bane of mankind's
existence.
The whole world would have become a Communist
World, if American didn't stand up to Russia...don't kid yourself.
And, I believe if you don't have the guts
to stand up to injustice, where ever it exists (and that means stopping
the Germans, the Japanese and the Italians in WW I and WW II...or the Albanian
Serbs in Bosnia...or the tragedies that keep on occurring in Africa...or
even the Viet Nam War....Panama...North Korea...the list goes on and on)...
One thing in common with all these events:
AMERICA.
America didn't stay and "conquer" ANY OF
THESE COUNTRIES.
And, the UN??? It's a sham. It can't even
decide what to do about UNANIMOUSLY VOTING THAT HUSSEIN be punished.
Me??? I'm ashamed to be surrounded by people
calling themselves Liberal who are, in my opinion, spitting on the graves
of brave American soldiers who gave their life to fight a war that wasn't
theirs...in a country they've never been to...simply to liberate the people
therein.
I haven't said very much politically, because
talk is cheap (yours and mine). But the answer to any doubters lies in
watching Iraq's people dancing in the streets.
Again, everyone who is marching today in
a war protest, can line up to my left to suck my balls.
