In his latest online diary piece Moby has praised the thousands who joined demonstrations around America against the war in Iraq last weekend. He told fans: “funny that the Bush administration is projecting a budget shortfall of 200 to 300 billion dollars for fiscal year 2003. And at the same time they are saying that the war in Iraq could end up costing between 200 and 300 billion dollars. Ah well. And kudos to all of the people who braved the freezing cold weather to go to the anti-war march in Washington".
In his latest anti-war piece he goes on to discuss the inconsistencies between Bush’s attitude to Iraq, and his attitude to Korea.
He asks why the US is preparing for war against Iraq but ignoring the situation in Korea, saying: "one - Iraq may or may not have weapons of mass destruction. North Korea definitely have weapons of mass destruction. two - Iraq most likely does not have nuclear weapons. North Korea most likely does have nuclear weapons. three - Iraq has let UN inspectors into their country. North Korea have just kicked the UN inspectors out of their country. four - Iraq have been belligerent and violent towards their neighbors. North Korea have been belligerent and violent towards their neighbors. five - the powers that be in Iraq have been involved in the deaths of millions of Iraqi's. The powers that be in North Korea have been involved in the deaths of millions of North Koreans. six - the leadership of Iraq is despotic and tyrannical. The leadership of North Korea is despotic and tyrannical.
He concludes: "I'm surprised that more people in the United States and the United States media aren't making a bigger deal out of this strange situation. I know that the Bush administration is beholden to the interests of the oil companies, but is that really what's behind all of this weirdness? Who knows?"
