US Govt Guilty of – BAD GOVERNMENT

US Govt Guilty of – BAD GOVERNMENT

Nimbin.

The administration of GW Bush is guilty of making unjustifiable errors in deciding the best, safest, path to take in regard to the Iraq and Middle-Eastern “situation” in general, for general world security.

This is undeniably evidenced in the growing number of reports by more-than qualified authorities.

The mounting evidence seems certain to lead to what I believe are quite justifiable charges of "War Crimes and Crimes against Humanity" against the Government of George W Bush.

Australia’s Liberal/National Government cannot honestly avoid similar charges for it’s (political) part.

There is an argument for Tony Blair’s decision to join forces with the US military/corporate monster, which I glean as being of a kind:
“A unilateral American military machine (on the loose) invading not just Iraq, but as loose-cannons might-be-well-expected-to-go, the wider Middle-Eastern, Arabic and Islamic region, threatens the worst outcome, thus an horrendous 21st century for the whole planet.”

So, having to ‘factor-in’ massive rorts and western corporate corrupt activity within the Middle-East (deviously to fuel tension and administrative infrastructural breakdown as much as plunder), and across the wider world, as a result of “declaring war on Iraq”, Blair, I suggest, saw it better, "that in the American military war-room, Britain’s top military advisers and personnel should at least witness, and at most diplomatically seek to ‘govern’ or temper any immoderate US temptations to run-rampant across the Islamic/Arabic world", as I reckon Blair rightly feared they would do.

My take on it, is that any ‘presence’ of an ally such as Britain (being their ‘key’ friend in global politics, and perhaps the nation the US government respects most) especially as advisers in US war-rooms, moderated the many US psychopathic propensities to lose control of the situation and resort (typically) to heavier and broader military actions.

Actions, in this high-potential scenario, certain to have ‘fucked-things-right-up’ globally, for a long-long time.

For centuries, if not longer.

This scenario - my gleanings - open to correction – nevertheless, does not negate the HARD TRUTH that Bush, and for his own errors of judgement, Howard, have failed terminally in providing The People All, of our two nations with 1st and foremost, Good Government.

Good Governance extends to the obligations of every employee and to the vigilant confirmation of every bit of advice the so-called “leader” receives and acts upon.

While we are plagued with the parliamentary model involving the flawed structure of requiring individual leaders, bad government is assured.

But the ”requiring of individual leaders” is as much a fabrication – at least an extreme focus – “myopism” - by vested interests in the media, upon individual personalities, capitalising upon the lowest common denominator of ignorance-bred gossip and public opinion.

Ignorance-bred by the ‘establishment’ to overshadow the more urgent macro-political-economic aspects of the Community.

Alexander Downer’s knowledge of terrorist warnings about Bali, weeks before the Bali bombings, and failure to alert the people is another example of BAD GOVERNMENT by the coalition under the Howard/Costello regime.

Good government is about ensuring Sound Advice and thus Good decision-making.

On both accounts, the Liberal/National government has failed tragically.
