` POLITICAL ESSAYS Incorrigible ` ` (1) ` Attentive readers of these essays may recall: ` "The Superpower has become so dangerous, that mutual assured destruction is now accepted and is no longer a factor in decision-making." [1] ` But why did such a fundamental change of attitude occur? ` Here's a down-to-earth reason-- ` "A Turk with German residency held at the...Guan- tanamo Bay [concentration camp] for more than four years was kept blindfolded and in chains on his flight home in a U.S. plane.... ` Quoting his lawyer: ` "The Americans are incorrigible, ` they have not learned a thing. ` "He was returned home in chains, ` humiliated and dishonored to the very end ` by the Americans...." [2] ` The lawyer was speaking "at a news conference broadcast live on national television." ` ` (2) ` The Superpower's attempting to popularize the term "Islamofascist." ` Such fluff is old stuff. ` Glance at the message on the September-October 1942 cover of Superman comics: [3] ` "War Savings Bonds And Stamps Do The Job On The Japanazis!" ` ` (3) ` THE EVIL PEOPLE ARE INCORRIGIBLE ` THEY HAVE NOT LEARNED ANYTHING GOOD ` ` ` ` [1] ` http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PoliticalEssays/message/770 ` [2] ` http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/08/25/AR2006082500375_pf.html ` [3] Issue # 18 ` http://www.comics.org/covers.lasso?SeriesID=116 ` or, for best view, ` http://www.comics.org/coverview.lasso?id=2376&zoom=4 ` or ` http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaganda#External_links ` Scroll down to "Superman comics covers with World War II propaganda" ` Issue # 18's at ` http://www.superdickery.com/dick/69.html ` `
