Our rescue
Fortunately it
seems that Divine Providence took pity on us.
While the index
was in the most terrible decline of all
time so far, the
favourable coincidence reappeared.
Terrorism struck
again.
Not with a direct
hit this time, but
with a terrible menace
to all humanity.
The threat from
Iraq's weapons of mass destruction.
And so we were
forced, at point C in
diagram 6,
to start the next war
of liberation:
To rid Iraq of its
dictator.
Who supported the
dictator for years,
in his control of the
Iraqi people,
that's another story.
The Iraqis, I
guess, have already
realized how indebted
they must be.
The humanitarian
bombing and then the liberating
soldiers must have been
received with great gratitude.
You know of course
that the
big winners are those
liberated
by this effort of ours.
They now live
happily in long-lasting peace,
freedom and democracy
surrounded by the
delights of the western
way of life and the
liberal economy of the
New Order.
Whether our index
again
(purely by accident of course)
also showed a profit,
that can be seen in
Figure 6.
From point C and
onwards
(or a little bit
earlier, because the index,
as in the previous
wars, seems to "smell"
upcoming events) there
began a wonderful
smooth upward trend
that lasted over four years.
Certainly,
alongside this fabulous increase of the index there
was some "collateral
damages", as it is so nicely called.
A non-governmental
independent
research group of professors at
the Johns Hopkins university,
calculated that up to
October 2006
650,000 Iraqis had died
because
of the invasion.
Well, what can we
do?
In order to save
mankind from the
Iraqi weapons of mass
destruction,
we had to accept some
losses.
Because there had
been observed some
not at all promising
ups and downs in the index,
and in order to
find out if (as long as we were in
an upward phase) a
further increase was possible,
it would be worth
repeating the experiment, and
starting the next war
of liberation before the
beginning of the next
drop.
Fortunately
Divine Providence
(purely by accident of course)
came
again to our help.
And
so at point D of
diagram 6,
after
the terrorist kidnapping of two soldiers
we
were forced to begin the liberation of Lebanon.
Although this
humanitarian action didn't last long
(the basic
infrastructure of a country can obviously in a short time
be reduced to a state
which demands immediate reconstruction),
and there was no direct
involvement of the great transatlantic ally,
again, miracle of
miracles, the impact on the index was impressive.
The already
ongoing rise was maintained and intensified.
We exceeded the
maximum of the year 2000, we passed the
milestone of 14,000
points and we broke the all-time records.
Until the autumn
of 2007 we could be optimistic.
We had nothing to
fear anymore.
If the next big fall
should start, Divine Providence
(which is known to be
on our side)
would ensure that the
next terrorist strike would take place,
so that we could start
the next war of liberation.
We had the magic recipe.
And we would not
miss the opportunities
for humanitarian
actions.
There are lines of
unhappy people
yearning to be freed,
and the world is full of
state-nests of
terrorists who are ready to
drown all mankind in
blood.
