Washington, DC
Dear Ross:
I heard late last week that you were murdered in Afghanistan. I'm sad for not having the chance to meet you.
I guess you would be angry for me to use the word "murdered"; after all, that's why you stayed in the military, wasn't it? To give your life for me, my kids, my loved ones, our American way of life? Were you sure, or did you stay because you like the discipline, the other guys, the camaraderie, the weapons that are so fascinating in their complexity, feel, weight, and destructive power?
You know, weapons of any kind fascinate almost any man. I am captivated by them. I shoot, too. I've killed small animals like birds and rodents, lizards in Mexico, geese -- and even a deer on a night hunt in Santa Barbara.
Had you ever been on a night hunt, Ross? You drive your vehicle into the trees alongside dozens of other trucks and cars and then turn on your headlights. Then you drive the deer -- the vermin -- into large groups. They freeze in the brightness staring at you almost inquisitively. Then you all open fire.
I don't know what made me think of that.
I said you were murdered, I suppose, because I don't understand why you were in Afghanistan, among people who hate you because they believe Americans hate all Muslims. I know you didn't. Chances are you knew some guys who were Islamic or they served you at a store, or did your med check-ups, or washed your uniforms.
Were you there because Afghanis killed all those people in Washington and New York?
That was a good reason to be there. Payback is always a good reason. But were you paying back the right people?
What did you think about this operation, Ross? After all, even I have to admit that would want to strafe a bunch of "ragheads" too -- and enjoy it, I suppose, because I saw friends and colleagues, and even a past lover, a happy and beautiful girl, killed at the World Trade Center, live on CNN.
What I wonder is, why you weren't in Egypt or Saudi Arabia, the countries where the September 11th hijackers were from?

Did you die for this man?
His name is Abdallah S. Jum'ah, and he is - President and Chief Executive Officer of Saudi Aramco Oil. Here's a capsule biography:
Appointed November 1995.
Member of the Saudi Aramco Board of Directors.
Joined the company in 1968.
Mr. Jum'ah is a graduate of the American University of Beirut.
He completed the program of Management Development at Harvard University in 1976.
He and his fellows created Osama Bin Laden.
Bin Laden hates Abdallah because he is a whore to the Saudi Royal Family -- in truth, a group of thugs with great educations. They are "close personal friends" of George H. Bush, George W. Bush, and, of course, Vice President Dick Cheney, who led Halliburton Corp., which supplies the Saudi's with oil drilling equipment.
Cheney, a man who never made more than $100,000 a year before 1992, earned about $50 million in the few years he spent as Halliburton CEO.
Why?
And why hasn't anyone asked why?

Did you die for this man?
His name is Saudi Prince Sultan, whose family handed Mayor Giuliani a check for $10,000,000 to help the families killed by one of Saudi Arabia's top citizens, Osama Bin Laden. As he did so, Prince Sultan and his family suggested that the United States stop helping "those Jews" in Israel.
Giuliani, not a Jew, threw the check in the Saudi Royal Family's face.
Bravo, Rudy.

Did you die for this man?
He is Saudi King Fahd, the man who rules his nation and its people with an iron hand, a man who has financed terrorists in the past, and a man who would love nothing better than to see the state of Israel fall to Islamic terrorists even as he "decries" terrorism.
It is Fahd who provides the wealth to the Bin Laden family to construct almost every major building project in Saudi Arabia.
It is Fahd who approved -- even after proof surfaced that Osama Bin Laden had murdered Americans time and again -- more funds for the super-wealthy Bin Ladens

Or how about this cretin?
This creep's name is Prince Abdullah. Abduhllah thinks that Palestinians are not terrorists and supports their 50 years of terrorism waged against Jewish women, Jewish children and the government of Israel -- not because Palestinians have any legal or other claim to Palestine (save squatters' rights') but because he hates Jews.
His family secretly funds terrorism in Israel. He recalled the attention of the Arab and Islamic world to the tragic situation suffered by the Palestinian peoples as part of the bloody massacres which take place in front of the eyes of the whole world. At a recent meeting of the Arab League, Abdullah called upon the Arab and Islamic world to shoulder their historical responsibility and address many serious and urgent issues, "...which we tried many times to overlook in the past."
Was this a message to Al Queda and Bin Laden to continue its war against Israel and the United States?

Or this scum? He's Prince Abd Allah Ibn Abd al-Aziz, seen here at the inauguration of Saudi Aramco facilities, specifically the Ras Tanura Refinery, on April 11, 1999. He's a good friend of George H. "Carlyle Group" Bush, George W. "Too Stupid to Turn a Profit" Bush, the President of the United States, and, naturally, "Dick" Cheney, currently in hiding somewhere in the United States.
The Egyptians, who personify the "intellectual vault of Islam", are far smarter. Try and find pictures -- any pictures -- of those Egypt-dwelling religious leaders of Islam, the "Cardinals" of the Muslim world who have not spoken out against Bin Laden or against the Saudi and Kuwaiti Royal Families, and who support the oppression of their own peoples and the willing funding and cheerleading for terrorism and against democracy in the Middle East.
Come to think of it, what's with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak? Is he helping these Islamic fundamentalists just as George W. Bush and his ilk are aiding so-called "evangelical" Christian fundamentalists in their campaign to destroy the United States constitution -- and doing a VERY good job at it?
Here's the truth, Ross: the two Georges Bush will tell you that we have to help these putative kings and princes to maintain a death grip on their nation's citizens because we have to have OIL.
I say your life and the lives of your colleagues killed by friendly fire in Afghanistan and elsewhere, the lives of our men in uniform killed in Desert Storm, and all the other lives we've seen sacrificed in the region are not worth the oil.
I for one am willing to ride my bicycle. So would most Americans if they realized that oil is what this campaign is actually about. It's about money, too -- riches for the hundred-millionaire vice president, an opportunist who fed at the public trough for their entire lives before feeding from the private trough at Halliburton as their REWARD, and his double-dipping Fascist wife.
Others will argue -- and sure, I'd miss tooling down I-95 in my big black Mercedes Benz -- so not why simply TAKE our oil and split it up with permanent members of the U.N. Security Council?
We and the allies could do that with a simple phone call.
Of course, we'd be nice to the Fahds and the other "Royal" families and "Generals" now residing in their palaces in splendor -- nicer, to be sure, than we were to the Shah of Iran, huh? We'd also treat the people of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain and the rest equally as well. We'd install our own form of government -- headed by a pro-Western and "fairly, duly elected" President.
I hate the fact that you are dead, Ross. I really hate it -- mostly for your kids and your wife.
So yeah, I'm a hawk now -- but let's get our targets right. Let's set our sights on the fat camel jockeys with their Ivy League BS's and MBA's, their Gucci hand-made loafers, their ermine coats, their 747s, and everything else un-American about them.
Take them down -- or take them out. Whichever. Frankly, I don't give a damn.
