Chickens are Coming Home to Roost

Re#2 MirMir

Dear MirMir,

Somehow your nickname reminds me of this old Lata (?) song:

“Mur-mur ke na dekh – mur-mur ke
Mur-mur ke na dekh – mur-mur ke
Jindganee ke safar mein
Tu akela hi nahin hai
Hum bhi tere sung mein hain….”

I have a feeling that you probably understand the words – anyone who is able to read Ghalib (I wish (sincerely) I had been able to) ought to understand a few of those words – or some volunteer here (Ana?) can perhaps translate it for you – perhaps even into Spanish – if not for any good purpose then at least to show-off!

By the same token, I hope you understood what I wrote to the Gillster in #1. Let me repeat:

“Gill sahib, hoash mein ayeeye – kuchh hone-wone ka nahin hai!
Yeh sub aapka vaham hai ya wishful thinking!”

If you did not understand – let me do a simple translation:

“Wake up little darling – wake-up! Stop the day-dreaming!”

Man, you are blinded with your deep “love” for our president. There were some really GOOD reasons which prompted US intervention into the Middle East! It was strictly in our national interest, and also in the interest of those Iraqis who value freedom – you certainly don’t seem to! The Gillster lets his passions rule his logic on issues related to this administration and sends common sense away to graze grass like a fat and lazy buffalo. You, the hot-blooded Mexicano – and a poet and an activist to boot – that ultimate lethal combination – are not to be left far behind!

I wonder if it is true what they say – that behind every such activist – if only one were to scratch a bit – an old commie sympathizer lurks. You guys make me scratch my head and say – wonders will never cease! The ultimate heart-warmer for the fake liberal crowds occupying every little nook and crevice of this rotten chowk furniture – hiding and hiding like khatmals and waiting for an opportunity to sneak up and do some serious damage – yet such extreme is that chicken-like valor and so totally incapable they are of facing the light of the day!

And while you take a pause from lecturing us regarding justice, when are you going to stop pumping those undocumented millions through our borders? Why can’t your compatriots come in with legal papers like everybody else – even the desi crowds? What the heck are you guys trying to do – swamp the whole land so the legals get kicked out, too?

Sincerely,
Beej.

Dr, Gill...
Thanks for posting this. I hope that Rove and Libby are indicted. It would only be sweet justice. Hubris before the fall. An indictment alone would be enough put an end to their sordid Washington careers. Cheney and Rice might well get burnt in the process. Those of us who remember Watergate will understand that a few apparently tenuous charges against aides and confidants can suddenly become cause for impeachment of a president. That may be too much to hope for in this case, but if a few of Dubya`s closest are outed in disgrace that would be some vindication for those of who opposed - still oppose - the unprovoked Iraq invasion and continuing bloody occupation.

Dr. Gill,

I should be careful when I step away (or get led away – courtesy of “chowk staff” (and their cohorts (hope YOU are not one of my “behind-the-scene” shady judges, if so, I am going to come around to “service” you presently!))).

What the heck is this – one week away from this site and you are ready to go put the bleep on the veep!

Gill sahib, hoash mein ayeeye – kuchh hone-wone ka nahin hai!

Yeh sub aapka vaham hai ya wishful thinking!

It is virtually impossible to prove that a person who revealed a CIA operative’s name was aware that the operative was “covert” and that such name-leaking would be “against the law”– therefore the threshold for indictment is quite unlikely to be crossed!

I have seen excitable hens act less excitable than you seem to be in this article – going so much ga-ga over gullible gossip!

Perhaps you need to switch to reading Washington Times and put the Post into the compost!

The above are my personal views, of course – I have no way of predicting the future. I base my guess on the fact that Bush’s thinking has always remained steady – as a rock! He always supports his people – and gives them the benefit of doubt – unless something clear-cut in the nature of proof shows up!

But one must marvel at the American system – no matter which way this camel turns –NOBODY can ever consider himself above the law!

Sincerely,
Beej.
