Sometimes fiction really is the truth. And sometimes predictions actually do come true. Have you watched la femme Nikita: the complete second season (1998) and noticed anything resembling reality?
There is a grain of truth in the dialog near the end of the second season's last episode, "End Game," between Nikita [N] and Operations [O] that definitely includes some interesting observations:
(the following excerpts from the transcript came from http://www.twiztv.com/ and I assume that they have the proper permission to post it online: http://www.twiztv.com/scripts/lafemmenikita/season2/lfn-222.htm )
[O] Yes, we scratch Hussein's back ..., and he scratches
ours ..., because the alternative is chaos....
[O] We've run sims, thousands of them. Based on the
assessments of brilliant people .. who devote their lives to this.
Without Hussein, the groups he sponsors would splinter and multiply like
viruses. They'd be starved for funds .. and would use extreme measures
to obtain them....
[O] Whatever restraints exist on their behavior now, would
vanish....
[O] Without Hussein, the country disintegrates in months.
In a year, adjoining countries follow ..., and the entire region by year
four. By year six ..., a nuclear incident takes place in the Middle
East. By year eight, three more detonations occur throughout the world
..., killing two million people directly, 20 million indirectly....
[O] In the year ten, a man-made plague ravages Europe and
spreads to India and China. Estimated casualties ..., fifty million
people. After that it gets worse.[N] but you can't be certain any of that will actually
happen.[O] No. But its our job to make certain .. that it doesn't.
... Human nature hasn't changed, Nikita. The Dark Ages were a thousand
years of .. chaos, war .., famine and disease. You think that won't
happen again because we have .. computers .. and jet planes and cellular
phones? ... Think again.
We know that Saddam Hussein worked with American Intelligence and we know that Rumsfeld was involved directly with Saddam:
Published by Greg Palast December 14th, 2003
"1983: Saddam hosts Donald Rumsfeld in Baghdad. Agrees to "go steady" with US corporate suppliers.
1984: US Commerce Department issues license for export of aflatoxin to Iraq useable in biological weapons."
Now that we have removed Saddam, what do we really expect? As often as I doubt the capacities of the president, I know that those advising the current Presidential Administration have access to information at least as reliable as those who write for television. What is our "End Game"?
What happens next?
