   Are You Ready For Nuclear War?   
   By Paul Craig Roberts   
    08/19/08 "ICH " -- - Pervez Musharraf, the puppet installed by the US   
   to rule Pakistan in the interest of US hegemony, resigned August 18 to   
   avoid impeachment. Karl Rove and the Diebold electronic voting machines   
   were unable to control the result of the last election in Pakistan, the   
   result of which gave Pakistanis a bigger voice in their government than   
   America's.   
   It was obvious to anyone with any sense--which excludes the entire Bush   
   Regime and almost all of the "foreign policy community"--that the   
   illegal and gratuitous US invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, and   
   Israel's 2006 bombing of Lebanon civilians with US blessing, would   
   result in the overthrow of America's Pakistani puppet.   
   The imbecilic Bush Regime ensured Musharraf's overthrow by pressuring   
   their puppet to conduct military operations against tribesmen in   
   Pakistani border areas, whose loyalties were to fellow Muslims and not   
   to American hegemony.   
   When Musharraf's military operations didn't produce the desired result,   
   the idiotic Americans began conducting their own military operations   
   within Pakistan with bombs and missiles. This finished off Musharraf.   
   When the Bush Regime began its wars in the Middle East, I predicted,   
   correctly, that Musharraf would be one victim. The American puppets in   
   Egypt and Jordan may be the next to go.   
   Back during the Nixon years, my Ph.D. dissertation chairman, Warren   
   Nutter, was Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security   
   Affairs. One day in his Pentagon office I asked him how the US   
   government got foreign governments to do what the US wanted. "Money," he   
   replied.   
   "You mean foreign aid?" I asked.   
   "No," he replied, "we just buy the leaders with money."   
   It wasn't a policy he had implemented. He inherited it and, although the   
   policy rankled with him, he could do nothing about it. Nutter believed   
   in persuasion and that if you could not persuade people, you did not   
   have a policy.   
   Nutter did not mean merely third world potentates were bought. He meant   
   the leaders of England, France, Germany, Italy, all the allies   
   everywhere were bought and paid for.   
   They were allies because they were paid. Consider Tony Blair. Blair's   
   own head of British intelligence told him that the Americans were   
   fabricating the evidence to justify their already planned attack on   
   Iraq. This was fine with Blair, and you can see why with his multi-   
   million dollar payoff once he was out of office.   
   The American-educated thug, Saakashkvili the War Criminal, who is   
   president of Georgia, was installed by the US taxpayer funded National   
   Endowment for Democracy, a neocon operation whose purpose is to ring   
   Russia with US military bases, so that America can exert hegemony over   
   Russia.   
   Every agreement that President Reagan made with Mikhail Gorbachev has   
   been broken by Reagan's successors. Reagan's was the last American   
   government whose foreign policy was not made by the Isreali-allied   
   neoconservatives. During the Reagan years, the neocons made several runs   
   at it, but each ended in disaster for Reagan, and he eventually drove   
   the modern day French Jacobins from his government.   
   Even the anti-Soviet Committee on the Present Danger regarded the   
   neocons as dangerous lunatics. I remember the meeting when a member   
   tried to bring the neocons into the committee, and old line American   
   establishment representatives, such as former Treasury Secretary Douglas   
   Dillon, hit the roof.   
   The Committee on the Present Danger regarded the neocons as crazy people   
   who would get America into a nuclear war with the Soviet Union. The   
   neocons hated President Reagan, because he ended the cold war with   
   diplomacy, when they desired a military victory over the Soviet Union.   
   Deprived of this, the neocons now want victory over Russia.   
   Today, Reagan is gone. The Republican Establishment is gone. There are   
   no conservative power centers, only neoconservative power centers   
   closely allied with Israel, which uses the billions of dollars funneled   
   into Israeli coffers by US taxpayers to influence US elections and   
   foreign policy.   
   The Republican candidate for president is a warmonger. There are no   
   checks remaining in the Republican Party on the neocons' proclivity for   
   war. What Republican constituencies oppose war?   
   Can anyone name one?   
   The Democrats are not much better, but they have some constituencies   
   that are not enamored of war in order to establish US world hegemony.   
   The Rapture Evangelicals, who fervently desire Armageddon, are not   
   Democrats; nor are the brainwashed Brownshirts desperate to vent their   
   frustrations by striking at someone, somewhere, anywhere.   
   I get emails from these Brownshirts and attest that their hate-filled   
   ignorance is extraordinary. They are all Republicans, and yet they think   
   they are conservatives. They have no idea who I am, but since I   
   criticize the Bush Regime and America's belligerent foreign policy, they   
   think I am a "liberal commie pinko."   
   The only literate sentence this legion of imbeciles has ever managed is:   
   "If you hate America so much, why don't you move to Cuba!"   
   Such is the current state of a Reagan political appointee in today's   
   Republican Party. He is a "liberal commie pinko" who should move to   
   Cuba.   
   The Republicans will get us into more wars. Indeed, they live for war.   
   McCain is preaching war for 100 years. For these warmongers, it is like   
   cheering for your home team. Win at all costs. They get a vicarious   
   pleasure out of war. If the US has to tell lies in order to attack   
   countries, what's wrong with that? "If we don't kill them over there,   
   they will kill us over here."   
   The mindlessness is total.   
   No real issues from the American media. The media is about demonizing   
   Russia and Iran, about the vice presidential choices as if it matters,   
   about whether Obama being on vacation let McCain score too many points.   
   The mindlessness of the news reflects the mindlessness of the   
   government, for which it is a spokesperson.   
   The American media does not serve American democracy or American   
   interests. It serves the few people who exercise power.   
   When the Soviet Union collapsed, the US and Israel made a run at   
   controlling Russia and the former constituent parts of its empire. For   
   awhile the US and Israel succeeded, but Putin put a stop to it.   
   Recognizing that the US had no intention of keeping any of the   
   agreements it had made with Gorbachev, Putin directed the Russian   
   military budget to upgrading the Russian nuclear deterrent.   
   Consequently, the Russian army and air force lack the smart weapons and   
   electronics of the US military.   
   When the Russian army went into Georgia to rescue the Russians in South   
   Ossetia from the destruction being inflicted upon them by the American
