Breakfast (Free verse) by Dhanesh M Kumar

Hip hip … hip….hurai, Hip hip … hip….hurai Powell, Rice and their company sings the song with seamless joy; Throwing apart the countless skulls of 2 years to 80 years , They are rejoiced by the smell of oil. Miles afar their boss is busy , Eating the breakfast of many Other’s bone..

Well that was a rather limp ending to a clash of ideologies. The majority of the opinions gushing from the anti-war crowd reek of defaultism of the worst kind. "The only good kind of radicalism, is anti-American radicalism."

Even our own ecargo betrayed the short-termism that simmers beneath the surface of their pious verbiage. Iraqis would be better off under Saddam? If he could see past his own nose, he'd realise that Saddam wasn't going to be there forever, that the country was heading for implosion, and that wherever that took us, it was going to be bloody. Of course there'd be the obligatory influx of foreign extremists, the inter-tribal skulduggery, and, yes, civilian casualties. All of this without the presence of a coalition force to do what they can to rebuild the country. Criticise the neo-cons for being too idealistic, or too ambitious, or too wreckless -- it takes years, not months to build a working democracy -- but if you ask me, it's the only long term solution to the problem, and it's a welcome change from propping up dictatorships for a quick and easy ride.
