Open letter in protest of WMD Bush's visit to India

 

 

 

 

 

 

To George Bush Jr.

Would-be Emperor

(Former Clown Prince)

Currently US President

 

Dear George 'WMD' Bush,

 

It is with both great happiness and grave apprehension

that we the people of India await your arrival in our country.

 

Happiness because in the few hours you will be engaged

in shaking hands with our country's leaders your

fingers will be - at least for a

little while - away from the nuclear doomsday button.

Happiness also in the hope that the grease you put on the palms of

your political underlings here will make the many triggers all of you

control that much more slippery.

 

There is a lot of apprehension too as your visit could

become the latest source of pollution in our ancient land already

poisoned over the years by your country's various multinationals-

from Union Carbide of Bhopal gas notoriety to Monsanto of GM seeds

infamy. Your own crimes against humanity in Iraq, Afghanistan and

Guantanamo are of course far worse than that of these corporations and

if the Ganges were not already as contaminated as it is unfortunately

today - we would have happily recommended a long dip in its holy

waters.

 

We know you have friends- or shall we call them loyal

subjects- in very high places in our country. Shri Manmohan Singh,

misleadingly called 'Prime Minister of India' when he is really a

CEO of your subsidiary company- will be there constantly at your

beck and call.

 

But then for this former civil savant turned

international servant- whose soul and spine were stolen many moons ago

by the IMF, World Bank and other dark forces you represent - it seems

to make little difference what master he serves.

 

You will also find the Congress that rules India even

more pliant than the US Congress you control back home. Having buried

Gandhi and Nehru in both body and spirit long, long ago this political

party that once fought the British Empire has become the Trojan horse

of American Imperialism in India.

 

There are others too from our country that will welcome you ---

captains of industry, merchants, bureaucrats and sections of

the Indian media- who already think of themselves as junior partners

in your vile Empire. The truth is they are as much in awe of the

weapons of war you so wantonly wield as they are mesmerized by the

petty commercial carrots you dangle before their eyes.

 

But make no mistake 'Mr Wannabe President of the World' - India is far

more than the name of your pet cat on the lawns of the

White House.

 

And though our leaders lovingly wag their tails at you

it is not a domesticated dog either.

 

Instead it is a full-blooded country of over a billion people who have

seen through many tyrants of your type several times

over in their long history. We packed off the British Raj just over

half a century ago and have no intentions of letting its American

offspring sit on our heads instead.

 

And we are not alone in our struggle against Imperialism on this globe

either. From Vietnam to Venezuela and Iraq to Indonesia we have had

and continue to have deep ties with people everywhere

from around the world who have stood up in defence of their national

dignity, sovereignty and the right to conduct their affairs in

whatever manner they see fit. We have long historical memories too of

the US establishment's atrocities and massacres around the

globe Hiroshima, Haiti, Greece, Guatemala. Cambodia, Chile - the

sacrifices of countless brave citizens will not go in vain.

 

Your regime's latest attempts to bully or bribe the Indian government

to join your machinations against Iran will also go

nowhere because the people of this country will forever resist your

immoral attempts to capture the assets of weaker nations by force. By

tempting the foolish Indian government with a dubious nuclear pact you

have attempted to divide and rule the developing world but we can see

through your imperial politics and have the means to unravel it too.

 

 

Your concern for the `national interest' of India in

striking a nuclear deal is going to make our country

powerful to the point of extinction.

 

Mr 'Emperor', not only you do not have any clothes

on, you are trying to pull some non-existent textile over our eyes too!

 

So Mr 'Emperor' when you soon land in India remember -

irrespective of what your weather 'experts' tell you- the temperature

on the ground will be several degrees hotter than anybody can predict.

True, this will be partly due to the general rise in global

temperatures your regime has so wantonly contributed to plus the hot

air you have such a talent for - but much of the heat will really be

due to the burning anger aroused by your presence in our midst.

 

Believe us we promise a very warm welcome to you and

all in your entourage and hope to make your trip as memorable as

possible. This collection of films on the crimes of your country's

various regimes we are showing the Indian public around the country is

just the first of many salvoes we are firing.

 

It is still not too late to turn your jets back to

Washington where Uncle Dick 'Shotgun' Cheney eagerly awaits your

presence on a long and exciting safari somewhere. Happy hunting and

watch your back.

 

Yours very, very warmly

Films for Peace Team
