"Don't follow the war profits"

[pynchonoid]

"Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!"

T:
>"Don't follow the war profits. "

"For a second day in a row, the
defiant information minister, Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf,
appeared at a roadside news conference to tell
reporters that the invaders were being defeated even
though his own ministry was not secure enough for him
to preside over."

P.S.  Here's part of what Grass really said:

"Disturbed and powerless, but also filled with anger,
we are witnessing the moral decline of the world's
only superpower, burdened by the knowledge that only
one consequence of this organized madness is certain:
Motivation for more terrorism is being provided, for
more violence and counter-violence. Is this really the
United States of America, the country we fondly
remember for any number of reasons? The generous
benefactor of the Marshall Plan? The forbearing
instructor in the lessons of democracy? The candid
self-critic? The country that once made use of the
teachings of the European Enlightenment to throw off
its colonial masters and to provide itself with an
exemplary constitution? Is this the country that made
freedom of speech an incontrovertible human right?"
