What I am going to talk about tonight affects all of us. Not just us sitting in this classroom, but it affects everyone on this world. Whether you " re in the U.N. or live in North Korea. America... and their willingness to go to war, for the preservation of their economy and their security. Now, this talk is not anti-American, I have American relatives and I don't hate them. But what I do hate is this free world democracy spiel which the government are always belching out about.

How is America a free democracy with free pres when the country's inhabitants are so Ill-informed about the rest of the world! The media vilifies the Arab states e.g. Iran, Iraq, Syria even when it was America who installed the dictatorships in the first place for fear of single Islamic entity forming, and they support Israel who are in the process of genocide against Palestinians. The media scares people into thinking that they could be attacked at any moment - even people in rural areas with no landmarks of significance are quaking in their boots for fear of the bearded turban wearing Islamist blowing up their Wal-mart or something! The average American is so scared and ill-informed that they even voted George W. Bush into power for a second term even though there is sufficient evidence to prove that his first victory was fixed. Disenfranchised African Americans, people without criminal records, honest, hard working people were denied their vote. Is this racism??

The Bush Administration has perfected the art of the fear and consumption tactic. Americans, for fear of their lives from the evil Arab, or the manic ethnic minority (as influenced by shows like cops and world's scariest police chases) will arm themselves to the teeth and even join the army to fight overseas for what they are brainwashed to believe is liberation. Iraq - Saddam was indeed a brutal dictator, but bombarding a densely populated area with missiles is not the way to remove a man from power. What kill the victims and the killer will follow?

Weapons of mass destruction - If there were any at all, wouldn't you have thought the US would have been able to track them down anyway? I mean where else would Iraq get WMD's from? Iran? The same Iran they were in a million plus casualty war with in the 80's?

America is the world's largest economy, generates 3/4 of the world's turnover, produces the most weapons of mass destruction and has the biggest army in the world. North Korea has the second largest for fear of another South Korean and American invasion. So watch this space, again! But before we even anticipate this, I think we should focus on another oil haven that needs a savin'.

Iran - which America have already admitted that they have aspirations to enter. For now, we have Iraq - which is the most dangerous place on the planet now- almost 2 years after the overthrow of its dictator. Just the other day, a suicide bomber blew himself up and another hundred civilians. Is this the liberation the bush government shouted from the hilltops about! "We got him!" Donald Rumsfeld and "Mission Accomplished" George W. bush and Tony Blair. Americans cheer, yet more people die, and the world is a more dangerous place.

But as long as their economy gets oil and more oil like a vampires thirst for blood, all is good for them. While the rest of the world suffers from starvation or AIDS, because pharmaceutical companies won't lower their prices, and civil wars start and babies die in their beds. It's all good because Middle America is tucked in bed and sleeping soundly because the TV tells them that everything has been taken care of. The Almighty Bush keeps the insecure in instability and uncertainty, and then they perceive him as coming up on top.

This is the reason for his victory in 2004.
