Oklahoma Crude Iraq Crude
On Oct 4, 2007, local cable network in India screened a Sony PIX release of 1973 movie: Oklahoma Crude, directed by the famous Hollywood director, Stanley Kramer, starring Faye Dunaway, George C. Scott and Jack Palance. An IMDB reviewer tags the movie as “A wild raunchy rip-roaring yarn!” In a sick way that is the true reflection of how US President George W. Bush will be feeling about is Iraq invasion saga: Iraq Crude.
The entire storyline of the movie is a remarkable depiction of the oil crazy America’s rambunctious outlaws of oil states of America, who had scant regard for rights or wrongs, laws or crime, and their only aim in life was to get their hands of other people’s property, especially if the other is weak and venerable. The Wild West had no place for the weak and venerable.
The villainous character of Jack Palance (Bush), who first raided Faye Dunaway’s wild cat strike (Iraq), hijacked the trio and gave them a thorough beating. The victim’s lawyer advises them, not to press for legal recourse, as courts will consume endless time. (Bush did not wait for UN sanction for Iraq invasion.) He suggested that they should collect arms, go right into their own property and kill the intruders with full protection of law under self-defence (Bush called Iraq killing preventive strike). Faye Dunaway and George C. Scott collect army surplus grenades and ammunitions, raid their own property and kill and kill the whole lot of Jack Palance’s gang of hired hands.
Defeated Jack Palance does not call it a day. He now gets a much bigger army of man, surrounds the property with tents and a jamboree, fit for Bush’s ‘green zone’ in Iraq and waits out.
The whole movie is a dark insight into the sick minds of oil men, like Bush, who have no qualms in killing people, shedding blood, raid other people’s property just because it is there.
The world will have to come to grips with the criminal immorality of the American national mind. The progress and prosperity, that we see characterizing America’s prominence in world affairs as the only super power, is built on sheer brutality and criminality. The US as a nation of 300 million has nothing to teach the world on morality and ethics and humanity. On the contrary, it will have to learn a lot from the East, for what it lacks is a soul that finally differentiates humans from the wild animals, who are still better in killing only for their immediate survival and not for capitalist hoarding of the loot.
Ahmadinejad does have a role cut out for him to reform the uncivilized America.
