AFTER THE BOMB – THE RELIGIOUS FALLOUT
The religious are few and quiet in North Korea. Yet today the survivors were up in arms after discovering that God had definitely NOT spoken to the Great Leader before he decided to bomb South Korea.
Being a minority, religious people in North Korea are not normally heard. But since the Great Leader and his entourage are expected to be holed up in a bunker for the forseeable future to protect their Greatnesses from radiation fallout from the south, the peasants have decided to speak out, while they still can.
“At least in America when leaders say they are instructed by God, they have had another opinion! A sounding board, a moral basis for their action”, their spokesman said. “NOW what can we believe? That the Great Leader himself is omniscient and thus omnipotent? What a horrendous position. Look where it’s landed us!”
Meanwhile in Iran, President Amanutjob too was in trouble. Students were burning his effigy after he admitted that his recent bombing of Israel was instructed from Allah, Peace Be Upon Him.
“Allah never instructed anyone to kill the infidel”, the students chanted, “who said he did? Where does it say that in the koran?”
The reply to this unrest from the new all-powerful UN, now under the leadership of the only surviving world leader Tony Blair, was to the point:
“The world has more believers than non-believers. But seemingly even God can’t please all the people all the time.”
Meanwhile in the REAL world and here and here life goes on, more or less as before. But a historic look back to 2006 here and here had some wondering what would have happened if George Bush had asked God’s opinion when their footloose and fancy-free government had first started along Armageddon’s path?
“Did Bush ask God? Wasn’t God listening?” they implored in desperate tones.
NO ICE, S’IL VOUS PLAIT, GEORGE!
Blair, Bush & Chirac at G8 Meeting
And in the re-writing history business the stakes were raised when it was realised that President Chirac had fallen out with President Bush in 2002 over the ice the American president had plonked into his dinner wine on a visit to the White House.
Excerpt: “French officials were prepared to provide as many as 15,000 troops for an invasion of Iraq before relations soured between the Bush administration and the French government over the timing of an attack, according to a new book published in France this week.”
But that tasteless, if innocent gesture put an abrupt end to the French President’s war plans as written about here:
‘The book, “Chirac Contre Bush: L’Autre Guerre” (“Chirac vs. Bush: The Other War”), reports that a French general, Jean Patrick Gaviard, visited the Pentagon to meet with Central Command staff on Dec. 16, 2002 — three months before the war began — to discuss a French contribution of 10,000 to 15,000 troops and to negotiate landing and …’
This planned French involvement in the Iraq invasion was speedily stopped by President Chirac after his abortive White House visit.
“Sacre bleu!” said Monsieur Chirac, “How can mes garcons fight alongside such unsophisticated brutes? And BEFORE they have been properly wined and dined in Paris. Mon Dieu. Non! Non! Non!”
