Bush before the UN
Washington sets an ultimatum to the world.
from the editorial office
14. September 2002
George W. Bush appeared before the general meeting of the United Nations, affirmed his plans against Iraq and set an ultimatum to the UN: "Either you support the American aggression or you will be nameless."
Besides of the arrogant and rowdily tone the speech is characterised by a shouting contradiction: Saddam Hussein must be punished and overthrown, because he defied the will of the UN, so the US will invade Iraq and install a puppet regime, independent whether the UN allows it or not.
This double moral can be found in the whole speech of Bush. It's premise can be said by words: The imperial countries could do what they want, the half-colonial countries must do what they are told to do.
The warlike substance of Bushs gossip about worldwide peace and safety had been underlined by the announcement of the Pentagon, that 600 army officers under General Tommy Franks will move from Florida to the Persian Golf state Katar, where they set up a command center for the war. The time had been carefully chosen, so that there will be no doubt about the real intention of Washington.
