Conspiracy Theories Abound
Dubya looking earnest |
Imagine for a moment that Dubya is as big a megalomaniac as he appears sometimes. Imagine that someone threatens his plans for world domina—I mean, his plans for Democracy for all peoples, under the control of the US. If indeed there were a person who seemed to pose a problem, mightn’t it be possible for that person to cease to be—given the right circumstances?
The recent death of Minnesota senator Paul Wellstone makes me uneasy.
Maybe I’m worrying about nothing, but from what I’ve heard of Wellstone, he would be a vehement critic of Dubya’s plans for the invasion of Iraq—if re-elected. Although many Democrats stated that they were opposed to unilateral action during debate in Congress, most voted in favor of the resolution granting Dubya the “all the authority he needs” for an invasion. Wellstone was one of the precious few who actually voted against letting Dubya play big man with world politics.
With Wellstone out of the way, however, Dubya and his hawk cronies are in a much more favorable position to do exactly as they please with nary a whimper from the increasingly cowed Congress.
Now I ain’t sayin’ Dubya had anything to do with a mysterious plane crash in Northern Minnesota that ever-so-conveniently removed a possible critic—but I ain’t sayin’ he ain’t thrilled it happened neither.
Light a candle to remember the dead.
