大ブッシュの補佐官だったスコウクロウは｢世界新秩序｣構想を立てた曲者で，うんぬんという投稿がしばらく前ありました。以下のニュースによると、いま，彼は小ブッシュに対しイラク戦争はハルマゲドンへの道であり、それはすべきではない、と警告を発しているようですが...。政府を支配する権力グループの中ではいったいどうなっているんでしょうかねえ...。
でも、本当に確かに彼のいうとおりだと思います。日本人は日本政府に働きかけて、アメリカのイラク戦争を絶対に絶対に阻止すべきだとおもいますよ。有事法の直近のねらいはイラク戦争で日本の自衛隊を駆り出すこと以外のなにものでもないのですし。日本市民としてイラクの民衆を攻撃する側になんて死んでも回りたくないですよ。いやですよ，絶対。アメリカ中枢部、およびこの決断を疑いもなく支持する一般アメリカ国民，そろって異常な人々ですよ。本当に恐ろしい人たちです。こんな風に上も下も一丸となってアメリカ先住民を殲滅したり，原爆落としてきたりしたんですよね。もう信じられないですよ，こういうケダモノみたいな人間が世界に存在しているなんて。これ，人間じゃないんですよ、ブッシュなんて人間のヌイグルミをかぶったケダモノなんですよ、みなさん、ほんとうは。ちがうんですか？怒るべきときにいからないと、もってかれちゃいますよ、アッチに。で、ケダモノのききわけのいい子分、ポチが日本の首相ときているんですから、もうばかばかしくて日本人やってられないですよ。日本人やめたいよ，ケダモノの子分に有事法であごで使われてイラク民衆の殺しの手伝いさせられるなんて...。というより，ほんとハルマゲドンだよ。

US adviser warns of Armageddon

One of the Republican party's most respected foreign policy gurus yesterday appealed for President Bush to halt his plans to invade Iraq, warning of "an Armageddon in the Middle East".
The outspoken remarks from Brent Scowcroft, who advised a string of Republican presidents, including Mr Bush's father, represented an embarrassment for the administration on a day it was attempting to rally British public support for an eventual war.
The US national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice, yesterday spelled out what she called the "very powerful moral case" for toppling Saddam Hussein. "We certainly do not have the luxury of doing nothing," she told BBC Radio 4's Today programme. She said the Iraqi leader was "an evil man who, left to his own devices, will wreak havoc again on his own population, his neighbours and, if he gets weapons of mass destruction and the means to deliver them, all of us".
But while Ms Rice was making the case for a pre-emptive strike, the rumble of anxiety in the US was growing louder. A string of leading Republicans have expressed unease at the administration's determination to take on President Saddam, but the most damning critique of Mr Bush's plans to date came yesterday from Mr Scowcroft.
The retired general, who also advised Presidents Nixon and Ford, predicted that an attack on Iraq could lead to catastrophe.
"Israel would have to expect to be the first casualty, as in 1991 when Saddam sought to bring Israel into the Gulf conflict. This time, using weapons of mass destruction, he might succeed, provoking Israel to respond, perhaps with nuclear weapons, unleashing an Armageddon in the Middle East," Mr Scowcroft wrote in the Wall Street Journal.
The Israeli government has vowed it would not stand by in the face of attacks as it did in 1991, when Iraqi Scud missiles landed on Israeli cities. It claims it has Washington's backing for retaliation.
Mr Scowcroft is the elder statesman of the Republican foreign policy establishment, and his views are widely regarded as reflecting those of the first President Bush. The fierceness of his attack on current administration policy illustrates the gulf between the elder Bush and his son, who has surrounded himself with far more radical ideologues on domestic and foreign policy.
In yesterday's article, Mr Scowcroft argued that by alienating much of the Arab world, an assault on Baghdad, would halt much of the cooperation Washington is receiving in its current battle against the al-Qaida organisation.
"An attack on Iraq at this time would seriously jeopardise, if not destroy, the global counterterrorist campaign we have undertaken," Mr Scowcroft wrote.
Both the American and British governments are expected to time a public relations effort to rebuff the critics and build public support in the immediate run-up to an invasion.
Senior Whitehall figures say that crucial in that effort will be evidence that President Saddam is building up Iraq's chemical biological warfare capability and planning to develop nuclear weapons.
The US defence secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, confirmed yesterday that the Pentagon was considering a change in the status of a navy pilot shot down over Iraq 11 years ago. He is currently classified as "missing in action".
There have been reports that Lieutenant-Commander Michael Speicher was still being held by Iraq.
If he was reclassified as a prisoner of war, it would represent an additional source of conflict between Washington and Baghdad.
