Le plus surprenant et le plus \u00e9puisant, apr\u00e8s tout, c’est qu’\u00e9pisodiquement revient, comme une pouss\u00e9e de fi\u00e8vre \u00e9trange, l’id\u00e9e surr\u00e9aliste que tout s’arrange en Irak. Il suffit d’une \u00e9lection, d’un nouveau Premier ministre, d’un voyage de pr\u00e9sident et ainsi de suite. La presse publie pendant quatre ou cinq jours des \u00e9ditos qui vont bien. Les commentateurs de service commentent comme il faut. L’usine \u00e0 gaz virtualiste qui nous sert d’atelier aux nouvelles fait quelques hoquets et crache un peu de fum\u00e9e. Notre volont\u00e9 d\u00e9vastatrice de croire \u00e0 notre propre fiction descriptive d’un monde qui n’existe pas a investi toute notre raison. Puis tout s’apaise et rentre dans l’ordre, c’est-\u00e0-dire dans le d\u00e9sordre sanglant de la folie que nous avons suscit\u00e9e.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\tM\u00eame le New York Times<\/em> s’en est \u00e9mu<\/a>. Dans son article d’aujourd’hui, il nous tance, c’est-\u00e0-dire qu’il se tance lui-m\u00eame en premier, sur notre facilit\u00e9 \u00e0 c\u00e9der au vertige de notre propre propagande. Un voyage de POTUS<\/a> fabriqu\u00e9 de A jusqu’\u00e0 Z, un Zarqaoui \u00e9galement fabriqu\u00e9 dans les m\u00eames ateliers et l’optimisme de commande qui n’a m\u00eame pas besoin d’\u00eatre command\u00e9 ni fabriqu\u00e9 s’installe. Le virtualisme, cette utopie fabriqu\u00e9e par la communication, tr\u00f4ne insolemment au cur m\u00eame de notre perception du monde. M\u00eame le NYT y c\u00e8de involontairement malgr\u00e9 son auto-critique, en parlant de \u00ab one-week flurry of good news<\/em> \u00bb, alors que toutes ces good news<\/em> sont pure fabrication.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00ab Rather than engage in a serious debate about America’s future course in Iraq, President George W. Bush and the Republican Congress have again opted for sound bites and partisanship. Yet all the choreographed posturing and a one-week flurry of good news cannot blot out the larger picture of dubious trends and dismal prospects. Not only is the glass less than half full. The water level, viewed over months rather than days, is not noticeably rising.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bb Take the police. It is meaningless to talk about Iraq’s taking charge of its own security when the police forces that patrol its cities and run its prisons are rife with sectarian militias and death squads that would sooner wage a civil war than prevent one. While Bush holds out visions of Iraqi security forces standing up so that Americans can stand down, Iraq’s deputy justice minister more candidly told The Washington Post last week that we cannot control the prisons; it’s as simple as that. He added that our jails are infiltrated by the militias from top to bottom, from Basra to Baghdad.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t(…)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bb Pretending things are better than they are will not make them so. America has some very hard strategic choices pressing down on it in Iraq much more complicated than whether to set an arbitrary target date for troop withdrawal.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t(…)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bb After a week in which the U.S. military death toll in Iraq passed 2,500 and an Iraqi official spoke of a possible amnesty offer to insurgents who killed some of those Americans – an offer we can safely predict Washington will never allow – the real tragedy of Iraq lies not just in the thousands of Iraqi and American lives lost or the shame of Abu Ghraib or Haditha.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bb It lies even more in the continued lack of leadership and candor from the White House. No upbeat presidential trip to Baghdad or flag-waving congressional resolution can long divert attention from the sorry reality. More than 130,000 American troops are now spending their fourth year mired in a dangerous and ill- defined mission with no realistic plan for success and no end in sight.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tMis en ligne le 19 juin 2006 \u00e0 03H54<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Le plus surprenant et le plus \u00e9puisant, apr\u00e8s tout, c’est qu’\u00e9pisodiquement revient, comme une pouss\u00e9e de fi\u00e8vre \u00e9trange, l’id\u00e9e surr\u00e9aliste que tout s’arrange en Irak.
