Why did I write it?

The invasion of Iraq was the main reason I began to write. Excuse after excuse. Lie after lie. How much crap could we take from Blair and Bush. The final of the excuses they came up with was the one that pushed my patience. “We’re going after Saddam,” they said. As if? This was scraping the bottom of the barrel. Now, I was angry and frustrated. What happened to Bin Laden? Anyway, I was sure Blair was heading for disaster in his quest of a place in history. Why? Because the west can’t fight an enemy, they can’t see, including himself. Also, not forgetting the legality of his actions and the murderous repercussions. So, I began to write notes about what I was thinking and it went on from there. My first attempt, which was called, ‘What If’, failed to go beyond the manuscript. However, I was spotted by Professor Julie Ford, an editor, and with her encouragement and guidance of ditching the anger for imagination, ‘Military Rule’, was born. I’m glad to say that Apex Publishing had the courage to recognise me as an author. And, I hope they continue to do so. Since writing ‘Military Rule’, I have become even more cynical towards government and its leaders. Especially, after Blair cut and run. That leaves Bush, the lonesome cowboy, to hide behind his self righteous belief of accepting God’s permission to do as he pleases, as did Presidents before him. “God blesses America,” they say, wether their action is good or evil. Could that be the cause for religion being the root of all evil? This is another basis towards my writing. There will be only one God, there will be only one leader. The action, whoever did it, against the Twin Towers also became instrumental to my writing. Indeed, it was the catalyst and the excuse needed to promote and push through the Bush policy of private war to invoke, avenge and gain Iraq’s black gold. How else could he afford to follow his evil, egotistical and illegal policy? Bush and Blair kept Bin Laden alive for obvious reason of excuse. Where is he? Does he exist? Is he a covert Image? And, why hasn’t he been found? You can’t tell me that the mighty West cannot find one man and his army. Meanwhile, we all suffer the aftermath of deceitful leaders who want to rule the World. And, this is very apparent today. In today’s climate, the generals will cross the line into political thinking. I’m reminded about General MacArthur by today’s outspoken generals, who, in my mind, could have walked into the White House and taken power as a military leader given the support he had from the sights of his return to America. Could it happen? Maybe, only in my book but who knows? Ask yourself, "do I dare read Military Rule and it's shocking conclusion?" Thank you for reading and please feel free to comment.
