More From Norman Schwarzkopf

And tar is washing up onto the beaches - big globs of tar. and people are saying, 'is that going to ruin our summer at the beach?' no, of course not. you take the big blobs of tar and you use them to hold down your blanket.

And all that weirdness isn't just going on outside. it's in you too, right now, growing in the dark like magic mushrooms. call it the thing in the cellar. call it the blow lunch factor. call it the loony tunes file. i think of it as my private dinosaur, huge, slimy, and mindless, stumbling around in the stinking swamp of my subconscious, never finding a tar pit big enough to hold it.

It was not the united states who invaded kuwait; it was iraq. it was not the united states that went to war with iran; it was iraq. it was not the united states that fired chemical weapons at iran; it was iraq. and it was not the united states that murdered innocent iraqi citizens with chemical weapons; it was iraq.

I made a movie to explain to the american public what had been achieved in regards to disarmament of iraq and why inspectors aren't in iraq today and detailing the very complex, murky history of interaction between iraq, the united nations and the united states. it is most definitely not a pro-iraq movie. it is a pro-truth movie.

What the world needs today is a definite, spiritual mobilization of the nations who believe in god against this tide of red agnosticism. it needs a moral mobilization against the hideous ideas of the police state and human slavery. i suggest that the united nations should be reorganized without the communist nations in it. it is a proposal based solely upon moral, spiritual and defense foundations. it is a proposal to redeem the concept of the united nations to the high purpose for which it was created. it is a proposal for moral and spiritual cooperation of god-fearing free nations. and in rejecting an atheistic other world, i am confident that the almighty god will be with us.

But you'll notice, you will notice that russia and china, invariably at the united nations, move to block american action, to repress or hem in or punish other kinds of outlaw. who stands behind mugabi at the united nations? russia and china do. who tried successfully to prevent the united nations from speaking with one voice on its most signal violation of its resolutions, iraq? russia and china, again. north korea the same. burma the same.

It's impossible to walk a block in miami, in los angeles, san antonio without running into someone who is being deeply impacted by a broken legal immigration system.

Once one concedes that a single world government is not necessary, then where does one logically stop at the permissibility of separate states? if canada and the united states can be separate nations without being denounced as in a state of impermissible ‘anarchy’, why may not the south secede from the united states? new york state from the union? new york city from the state? why may not manhattan secede? each neighbourhood? each block? each house? each person?

Once, when we were playing at the apollo theater, holiday was working a block away at the harlem opera house. some of us went over between shows to catch her, and afterwards we went backstage. i did something then, and i still don't know if it was the right thing to do—i asked her for her autograph.

There was our house in new orleans. two blocks in front of us were these beautiful mansions and two blocks behind us were the ghetto, projects, and that's where i had to go to school, but i would always pattern my life looking forward. it was almost literal.
