America's
guilt & March 20th
by Carol Wolman,
March 14, 2004
America under George W. Bush has become a rogue nation,
an outlaw that shreds treaties and invades other countries on false pretexts,
with no provocation. We refuse to come under the jurisdiction of the International
Criminal Court, lest we be judged by the same standard that applies to
every other nation. We continue to consume far more than our share of
the planet's dwindlng resources, and add far more than our share to the
planet's carbon dioxide load, which is heating things up at a rapid rate.
We are destroying the earth for everyone, and for our own descendants.
Our guilt is enormous. There is no excuse for this greed. The American
people are not helpless- we are educated and healthy for the most part,
and have a strong tradition of democracy.
Disaster looms on many fronts- economic, ecological, political. Who can
save us? Will John Kerry save us? Ralph Nader? Dennis Kucinich?
No, we must save ourselves. Rather than rely on the electoral process,
already controlled by the Skull and Bones group, and wide open to vote
fraud by way of paperless electronic voting machines, we need to return
to the streets on March 20th. It will be a day for the American peace
movement to show itself again, and reassert friendship with peace activists
marching all around the world.
On March 20th, we MUST demonstrate that Bush does not speak for all the
American people. It is an opportunity to beg forgiveness from the Iraqis
and Afghanis, and to ask for world-wide help in ridding our country of
the monster that has taken over the government.
Perhaps we will be arrested, even beaten. We may suffer for our passion.
If we are willing to take these risks in order to restore sanity and hope
for the future, perhaps God will take pity on us and spare us from the
worst calamities.
In the name of Him who suffered and died for our sins, Carol Wolman
Who is
there like you, the God who removes guilt
and pardons sin for the remnant of his inheritance;
Who does not persist in anger forever,
but delights rather in clemency,
And will again have compassion on us,
treading underfoot our guilt?
