Bush Is A Threat To World Peace - Nobel Author Grass
(Gunter Grass, Rense,com, January 4, 2003)
WamS: Mr Grass, what is your impression of George W Bush? . . . Grass: I regard this man as dangerous, a threat to world peace. He reminds me of one of those figures in Shakespeare's historical dramas, whose only ambition is to come before his father--the old, dying king--to step up and say, "Look, I finished your project!" He is determined to bring the Gulf War to a higher level of completion by instigating a second one, Bush jr is guided by private, familial motives: he is driven by what he inherited by his father. Also Bush's economic interests play a role. The family is deeply involved in the business of oil. Above all, what's behind the push for a war with Iraq are political and economic interests. . . . After the collapse of socialism, capitalism remained without a rival. This unusual situation unleashed its greedy and--above all--its suicidal power. The belief is now that everything--and everyone--is fair game. On the stock exchange what happens next is nothing more or less than the destruction of Capital--and with it the destruction of industry, jobs, and human resources. If a firm announces a lay-off of 200 workers, their stock price climbs. That is insanity! The present form of market-blind Capitalism has brought forth its own enemy, its own Frankenstein monster. This system could collapse any day.
