The Global Struggle Against Violent Extremism Stupidity
So the Bush administration last week switched from calling it the Global War on Terror to the Global Struggle Against Violent Extremism. Most pundits both made fun of the move, and pointed out that it was closer to the truth then before.
I propose my own change: The Global Struggle Against Violent Stupidity. I've read the writings of these guys first hand: Osama, Saddam, the mullahs, and I have to say:
All these guys are freaking morons.
One would think that these guys are upset because they suffer under unjust governments, and upset with us because the US has propped up these terrible regimes for years in the Middle East. To quote Rice, “we traded stability for Democracy”.
Nope, that's what you or I would complain about. That's because we have a freaking brain, and we realize that their real problem is their countries are run by inbred fools. Saudi Arabia has more doctors then nurses, because the guys who run their country had never actually been in a hospital.
That's not what these guys complain about, these guys actually think their governments aren't severe enough.
Really, I'm not kidding. Osama thinks that the path to a bright shining future for the Arabs to unite under a Islamic dictatorship. (Run by him of course.) When pointed to the counter example of Iran, Al Queda just answers that they would of course “do an Islamic government right”. I guess the Taliban was supposed to be Islamism done right? That's why anyone with any sense in Afghanistan left?
Its like Communism all over again, each country going communist and then saying “oh, well, all those previous guys who tried it didn't do it right.”
Saddam wasn't any different. All these guys talk about Saladin, the great Muslim dictator of a few hundred years ago. It's as if we started pining “Gee, if only Napoleon could come conquer Europe again. That would really help our governments be more effective.”
Their military planning doesn't exactly show incredible brains either. On 9/11, they killed 3,000 Americans plus some other people of various nationalities. What exactly did that action accomplish? What have any of their actions ever accomplished? They're just blind expressions of rage.
The terrorists are not the poor and downtrodden, but invariably men from middle or upper class families. They're the kind of young men that in America, end up living in their Mom's basement. I wonder if we couldn't defuse this whole GSAVS thing if we just sent the Middle East some porn and some blow up dolls.
We probably can't make them any smarter, but perhaps we can keep them busy.

You’re on to something here. Perhaps the key to change in the Middle East somehow lies with the women, and the power that they have.
Saddam’s idol was Stalin, another totalitarianist prick. It’s the same story over and over again.
The weird part is that so many buy into these schemes, despite the lessons that previous ones taught. Is the payoff the same?

Hatred is addicting…
So is sex/women…
Therefore, getting terrorists laid would bring peace to the middle east!
Pussy Power!

Therefore, if your premise is that Bush is stupid, then the entire Democratic party is even stupider, since the only guy they could get to run against him had a demonstrably lower IQ.
Though Bush did look into flying in Vietnam at one point.
