So let me get this straight. The new president of the United States empire who has been in office less than 9 months but has already proven bayond a doubt to be just as much of a warmonger as President Bush and has gone back on all his biggest pre-election promises to end the fraudulent war in the Middle East, but instead has expanded the war of agression in Afganistan while NOT ending the war of aggression in Iraq, is a peace maker? In fact, not only has this lying POS expanded the fraudulent "War on Terror" (read War of Terror), he has also defended torture, provided critical support for an illigitimate regime called Israel which through their illegal enslavement and occupation of Palestine and Gaza has created the largest concentration camp in the world, while participating in the same, identical, lying drum-beating war rhetoric against Iran that was used to start the war of aggression in Iraq and continuing to perpetuate the lie (now going on more than a year) that Iran threatened to "wipe Israel off the map".

This is beyond nonsensical. Even Orwell would roll in his grave at this mind boggling farce.

We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men. It is not merely that at present the rule of naked force obtains almost everywhere… Bully-worship, under various disguises, has become a universal religion, and such truisms as that a machine-gun is still a machine-gun even when a "good" man is squeezing the trigger… have turned into heresies. – George Orwell, Review of Power: A New Social Analysis by Bertrand Russell in Adelphi (January 1939)

Auferre, trucidare, rapere, falsis nominibus imperium; atque, ubi solitudinem faciunt, pacem appellant.– Tacitus, Agricola, (98), end of ch. 30.

Translation: To ravage, to slaughter, to usurp under false titles, they call empire; and where they make a desert, they call it peace. Oxford Revised Translation (at Project Gutenberg)

Tacitus is quoting the British chief, Calgacus, in his speech to British soldiers, stating the irony between Rome’s acts of empire and the inscription upon Roman medals of "peace given to the world." Solitudinem faciunt, pacem appellant (they make a desert, and call it peace) is often quoted alone
