Not Your Sweetie

Terry Jones on jingoistic mangling of the vicabulary:

"'Cowardice',
according to Colin Powell, is the refusal to
injure thousands of innocent civilians living in Baghdad in
order to promote US oil interests in the Middle
East. The corollary is that 'bravery' must be the ability to
order the deaths of 100,000 Iraqis without
wincing or bringing up your Caesar salad.

I suppose Tony Blair is 'brave' because he is willing to
expose the people who voted for him to the threat
of terrorist reprisals in return for getting a red carpet
whenever he visits the White House, while Chirac is a
'coward' for standing up to the bigoted bullying of the
extremist right-wing Republican warmongers who
currently run the United States.
