You would think Eddy Kennedy was driving this war in concert with Basil
Fawlty...And when Basil asks what the Major is looking for, he mumbles
"vermin" sounding just a bit too much like "Germans."
And unfortunately for Basil, there is a group of German tourists arriving
later that day.Basil tries to refrain everyone from mentioning "the
war" in front of the Germans. But after he gets a concussion, he
ends up angering the tourists when he goofs up their dinner order by
mixing up Eva Braun with an order of prawns, Hermann Goring
with herring and goose-stepping across the dining room with his finger
over his lip."Whatever you do, don't mention the war", "My
wife will explain"
What now will save us from a psychopathic tyrant who sponsors
international
terrorism and who is also armed with weapons of mass destruction?
The war seeks to force international acceptance of "pre-emptive
strikes"
and "regime change". The US says that it is now legitimate for
one country
to launch a war because it believes another country has hostile
intentions
towards it. The US also says that it is legitimate for one country to
intervene in the internal affairs of another country and replace a
government that it is opposes. In other words, the US is asserting the
rights formally claimed by the colonial powers in the 19th and early 20th
centuries over the peoples of the third world.
