The Evolution of a New Myth
(Bob Wallace, Strike The Root, July 19, 2004)
The full story of the modern Chickenhawk is this: deluded, lying, blood-thirsty cowards, afflicted with hubris, who have a lust for political power and attention.  They refuse to fight, but trick other into doing so, because of their mistaken belief in their intellectual and moral superiority.  They think the belief in their superiority gives them the right to sacrifice huge numbers of people, who should do as they are ordered, without question, so the Chickenhawks can social-engineer the world through political violence, as the way the Borg Queen wanted to, when she said, "Why do you oppose us?  We only wish to improve the quality of your lives".  The Chickenhawks are attempting to Borgify the US , indeed the whole world.  Being monsters, they have to be opposed.  Ultimately they will lose, because hubris is always followed by nemesis.  Unfortunately, they might--will--get a lot of innocent people killed, and a lot of societies damaged.  But then, it is the nature of monsters to do these things.   "The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing," wrote Edmund Burke.  Truer words were never spoken.   Monsters, always with us, must always be fought.
