Deja Vu 60s Style?

[HARDCORE]

This time around, however, it is UCLA, and not Berkley or Kent State, that is at the center of debate, but the ?Winds of War? still manage to stir the emotions of the Ivy Set, and rightfully so!

Back in the mid 60s, and early 70s, the ?Intelligentsia Crowd? was up in arms over the prospect of more casualties in the Vietnam War, and as such, an entire culture grew up around the draft and Southeast Asia. This was a mind-set that was not all that different, from that which existed within America shortly after World War I! ?How are ya gonna keep em down on the farm, and all that Twenty-Three Skidoo jazz? of bygone times!

Some of those college kids of the 60s, realizing that the sons and daughters of ?First World War Veterans?, were off to fight again in WWII [some 23 years later], were not really anxious to repeat their gallant father?s and grandfather?s performances. Now, however, some feel that they, like their dads who battled in the ?Nam?, will be off again to ?Strange and Exotic New Fire Fights?, half way around the world! Not so new actually, as we have (after all) been there-done that, before!

In a poll taken at UCLA recently, however, some 48% of the students asked, agreed with the President?s stance on Iraq! Of course, their responses now are but academic, as time and lead seem to alter a few perception! But still and all, that number of early-stage supporters is remarkable, especially when compared to Berkley in the sixth decade of the twentieth century! And any war in that neck of the woods [Middle East] may be fast, furious and short, considering the ominous fires of hell that we [USA] can bring to bear upon any enemy! I must therefore assume that this ?Saddam Cat must be dragging on the wrong weed!?? [Was that 60s enough?]

Well this isn?t the 60s, and Hussein is well known for his ongoing atrocities and pompous-ass attitude! This jerk [Saddam] is indeed the ?Mouth That Roared?, and an occasional bath now and then wouldn?t hurt him either! That, and a lesson in humility just might be the order of the day [SOON]!

I saw on the tube today where Hussein is again parading his prancing troops before the rolling cameras - a replay of what we all saw in 1990! But might I remind you Saddam, that your troops looked really grand marching into tiny Kuwait some 12 years back, but they ran like hell when they were driven out [like stampeding cattle], back in the direction from wence they came!

Oh, I forgot, you did [recently] tell your army to fight hard [this time], did you not. Well, Hussein, they will also ?Die Hard Too?, and upon your orders I might add! But if you are so damned concerned about their performance in combat, then might I suggest that you hop on your camel and personally lead the attack yourself! Come on ?Hero Hussein?, show the world what the hell you are really made of!

I don?t know how many American Indians will be in our front lines, but maybe they and the rest of the coalition, can treat you to a ?Good, Old Fashioned Wild Western Haircut?, scalp and all! And while they are at it, maybe they will lift that walrus-like mustache of yours too, upper lip and all!!
