ViZions of Mr. Bush [Archives:2002/27/Focus]
COMMON SENSE
Hassan Al-Haifi
What do you have to say about the latest speech of President George Bush the younger, on the Middle East? Farida asked her husband.
You mean the long awaited vizion of the President of the United States? replied Hussein.
No Hussein, vision is spelled with an s, not z Farida reminded her husband.
Hussein elaborated on his explanation of the facts: Farida, to Mr. Bush, as far as the Middle East is concerned, if it is not palatable to Zionist ears, it should not be said, written or even hummed. Therefore, Mr. Bushs crystal ball outlook on the future of the Middle East must be labeled vizion and not vision, like normal witch doctors and soothsayers have. The Zionists all over the world are now advocating having all the dictionaries and thesauruses of the world change the spelling of the word vision to vizion. They are also making sure to add that if anybody is not with the idea, then he is putting himself in the position of an abominable enemy of Uncle Sam and Uncle Sharon put together, while reminding everyone of the catch all phrase: if your are not with us, then you are against us. So vision has quickly been changed to read vizion in all the dictionaries and thesauruses of the world. Even the spelling corrector in your computer must change, or else it will be entered in the blacklist of Al-Qaeda facilities and be regarded as a target in the next phase of the anti-terror war that Mr. Bush has dedicated himself to wage against anything and everything in the Middle East that does not conform to the vizions of Mr. Bush and Mr. Sharon.
Farida wanted to bypass the play on words, which her husband was getting into: Hussein, what do you see in Mr. Bushs Vision on the Middle East problem.
Farida, if you dont get the word right, I will not answer. It is vizion, not vision, otherwise, you will be considered against them! So, you must repeat the question with the correct rendition of the word. Otherwise, in order to stay on their side, I may have to start divorce proceedings, like Yasser Arafat must now do, because Mr. Bush does not find any place for Arafat in his vizion of the future outlook on the Middle East. It is crazy, but these are the facts of life now in the New World, which Mr. George Bush, the Elder did not complete because he was not lucky to get a second term, like the Younger is expecting to get, thanks to the anticipated help he will get from the powerful Zionist Machinery in the United States.
Hussein, you are getting too far-fetched! said Farida.
Hussein insisted on continuing his elaboration of the latest play on words and the latest in the Games People Play in the international arena: My dear, I am just warning you, that is all. If you are not with us, you are against us and even if you are with us, and we do not like you, we will be against you! That is the essence of Bushs Vizion, as I see it. The vizion was applauded by every element in the Israeli political spectrum, even by those who cant stomach the elephant walk of Ariel Sharon. Some people in Israel felt that Sharons efforts to get Mr. Bush to postpone his speech was not called for, in light of this Vizion being commensurate with everything that the Zionists wanted and more. He explained to them, that he wanted to make sure that everything was set to make sure that from now on the word vision will always be spelt vizion, and thus the international Zionist establishment worked diligently in preparation for the big change that was coming to the English language.
Hussein, what ever happened to your expansive down-to-earth critical analysis of international developments, has your vision become distorted? inquired Farida
Hussein, feeling that it would be useless to comment on Bushs ambiguous outlook in the Middle East decided to carry on with the ridiculous, in keeping with his perception of the Vizions of Mr. Bush: Farida, I warned you it is either vizion, or forget about our marriage contract. I am not going to wait to have Mr. Bush demand that we break our legal bond, or else have Israeli and American Apaches hit our modest home and store, which we depend on for our livelihood! Those are the breaks after September 11, 2001.
