RE: Will de Power and the Burning Bush

Whether on can afford to throw England, traditions, culture, dignity, away as non-existent abstractions, or whether this
so-called nominalism is not itself the extremest nihilism, opening the door to an 'everything is allowed', by exceeding all limitation, can be tested (falsified) again by hearing those who undergo it all. The outcome of all this lying nominalism or: irrealism, are very real and deadly blows. When are the wild and the tamed they use going to find out that from the beginning this all was clear, to some at least -and why- , and that again the democratic majority has been just the instrument to unleash the aggression leading to the death and the filth that we can all witness, if we're not like the cowards, who shut their ears and eyes, or simply run away. What a mess, and what messherders. (spit)

The lethal offensive of the American troops in Fallujah in March has been the turning point as far as the resistance is concerned. The indiscriminate pillage by American soldiers during their search missions (according to many witnesses) and the sexual humiliation inflicted to prisoners, including Abu Ghraib in Baghdad, have only served to magnify the anger felt by most Iraqis. "There's no more trust, it will be hard to regain it." According to these resistance leaders, "We have reached the point of no return."

This is exactly the point of view of a Shi'ite woman we had met two days earlier - a former undercover opposition militant against Saddam: "The biggest mistake of the occupation forces was to despise our traditions and our culture. They are not satisfied with having bombed our infrastructure, they tried to destroy our social system and our dignity. And this we cannot allow. The wounds are deep and the healing will take long. We prefer to live under the terror of one of our own than under the humiliation of a foreign occupation."
