BUSH'S EARTH

That whole pre-emptive war for peace thing is really great! If every country on earth pre-emptively attacks every other country on earth, we'll be, like, the most peaceful planet ever!!!

Gotta love that Bush vision. Some in India sure seem to:

JODHPUR, India (AFP) - Defence Minister George Fernandes reiterated Indian warnings that Pakistan was a prime case for pre-emptive strikes.

"There are enough reasons to launch such strikes against Pakistan, but I cannot make public statements on whatever action that may be taken," Fernandes told a meeting of ex-soldiers in this northern Indian desert city on Friday.

The renewed warning came just hours after US Secretary of State Colin Powell said Washington would strive to cool tensions between nuclear enemies Pakistan and India, who have fought three wars since 1947.

Fernandes said he endorsed Foreign Minister Yashwant Sinha's recent comments that India had "a much better case to go for pre-emptive action against Pakistan than the United States has in Iraq."

Sinha also argued that Pakistan was "a fit case" for US military action, because it had weapons of mass destruction and terrorists.

Oh Mr Sinha, get with the program! I'll tell you what the Bush administration and the State Department would: Pakistan is ruled by a good brutal military dictatorship, not an evil brutal military dictatorship. Have you no appreciation for subtlety in this world? Jeez! (hehehe)

I'm sure Gandhi's loving all this, btw.
