Heroes and Villains of 2002
Villain: Dick Cheney
The Vice-president of the United States of America is sort of the avatar of
negative American economics and supreme master of war unless a friendly
cardiac arrest takes him from us shortly. He could be the death of thousands
of young Iraqi men and the disease carrier for thousands of young British and
American servicemen.
Villain: Ariel Sharon
This year marks the 49th since Ariel Sharon led the special commando unit 101
in an attack against the West Bank village of Qibya, killing 69 Palestinian
civilians, and he has been engaged throughout this year doing what he does
best: wanton killing of men, women and children and destruction of farms,
homes and the service infrastructure in occupied territories. Since 29 March
alone his army has killed hundreds of innocent Palestinians and injured
thousands. These are no longer crimes against the Palestinians. They are
crimes against humanity and the international community has both a moral and
legal responsibility to bring them to an immediate end.
Villain: Ariel Sharon
For disobeying United Nations instructions, for holding weapons of mass
destruction, and because the fact that he won't have peace is providing an
excuse for a war on terrorism.
Villain: Ariel Sharon
He's a stupid thug and that isn't just a gratuitous insult. He's stupid
because the policies he has pursued relentlessly and brutally have proved to
be counter-productive, yet still he fails to recognise it. And he's a thug.
He's a mass murderer. He's a war criminal. He's a child-killer. He's wrecked
the peace process, he's wrecked any hope of a settlement in the near future.
What he's trying to do is eliminate what remains of Palestine and he's now
even talking about what amounts to ethnic cleansing. He's a terrorist, by any
definition.
Hero: Noam Chomsky
Heroes are few, but the American refusenik Noam Chomsky deserves the
appellation. His integrity and steadfastness in the face of imperial
depredations is in polar contrast to all the hand-wringing of pundits,
politicians and the belligerati in the face of a naked attempt by Washington
to dominate the world.
Villain: Ariel Sharon
This unpunished war criminal regards the Palestinians as Untermenschen
(subhumans), orders the killings of the leaders and the led, and is busy
destroying both the social and political infrastructure of the Palestinian
nation. This is an attempt to erase the political identity of a people who
became the indirect victims of the European Judeocide.
Villain: George Dubya Bush
In the name of oil, he shoots up the environment like a Coke can on a wall,
whether it's undermining Kyoto or ripping up the last of the US's ancient
forests. Meanwhile, he bullies his way around the world, declaring that the
US can rip up treaties, do what it likes, but woe betide others if they don't
stick rigidly to United Nations resolutions
Villain: Tony Blair
For being a creep.
Villain: Donald Rumsfeld
I'm nominating the US Secretary of Defense for his crass remarks about
Churchill wanting a pre-emptive war, thereby using bad history to support bad
policy.
Villain: George Bush
This illiterate buffoon cheated his way into the White House with the help of
his well-connected family and friends. Having dismally failed to anticipate
or prevent the atrocity of September 11, he spent the rest of the day
zigzagging around the country like a jet-propelled chicken. His personal
cowardice was mirrored in the country at large, and he fanned it to his
advantage in the mid-term elections, and now, to foment an unprovoked war
that has nothing to do with terrorism and everything to do with oil. His
record on the environment is as appalling as you would expect. Bush is
rightly despised throughout the world, and it is humiliating that Britain is
seen as his only ally.
