[UA] The war

[mattias.ostklint at husqvarna.se]

Shit, there's some really good activity on the list now. This probably
doesn't qualify.

The Shah of Iraq was the godwalker of the true ing back inte the days. He
had the title, he had the land, he had the birthright. Saddam offed him in
the sixties and took his place. It was tricky. He has had to work really
hard to keep his place despite the obvious breaks in taboo (the title, the
birthright) and he managed only through popular support, massive
personality cults, de facto life position as"our great leader".
He also started working on kicking the current archetype and replace him
with the President. The President has to be elected, that's the reason he's
been so meticulous about the recurring ceremony of election. The reasons he
hasn't simply proclamed himself Shah are two: One: He doesn't have popular
support, a president doesn't need people to like him, only to elect him.
Two: proclaming himself Shah (king) would reinforce the current archetype,
he wants to weaken it.

George Bush got a taste of real power when he became president, and
figuring out who was godwalker didn't take long. Tricking Saddam into
attacking Kuwait was tricky, but it worked, and having his reason, he went
after Saddam like a hungry wolf. Only through his extensive use of proxies
(doubles) could Saddam survive and use (probably) his Godwalker channel to
make the war end.

But Bush had learned something about the many uses of proxies. He knew he
couldn't be reelected president, but using his son as a proxy (a very
strong one, the share name, blood, and title) he could get de facto
reelected and get another shot at the godwalker, and hopefully, at the same
time, the archetype. Wether the soul currently inhabining the presidency
belongs to the son or the father is up for debate, I personally wouldn't
leave something as important as this to my kid.

Problem arises in the election, and what means he used to swing the jury is
also up for debate. It is also belived that he works from a weaker position
than last time, since he didn't get the majority of the votes (Thank god
for the american voting system!).

Either he kills Saddam or he doesn't. And if he does, either he ascends as
the President o he doesn't. If he ascends, the old archetype will be kicked
back to earth. Now, for the last complication. The current archetype of the
king is probably Arthur Pendragon. He is supposed to come back to England
in the hour of her greatest need, and that need, my friends, can only be
the apocalypse, the end of the world.

Ok, gotta work now.
