How Do We Thank George W. Bush?

[BLUSH]

A multinational poll finds that publics around the world reject the idea that the United States should play the role of preeminent world leader. Most publics say the United States plays the role of world policeman more than it should, fails to take their country’s interests into account and cannot be trusted to act responsibly.

Steven Kull, editor of WorldPublicOpinion.org notes that this poll reinforces the conclusions of other recent global surveys, which have found that the United States’ image abroad is bad and growing worse.

In 10 out of 15 countries, the most common view is that the United States cannot be trusted to “act responsibly in the world.” Respondents were allowed to choose whether the United States could be trusted “a great deal,” “somewhat,” “not very much” or “not at all.”

7. Life without parole at Abu Ghraib, full of special surprises from our offficial USA torturers...

And even that's not enough, but I don't believe in capital punishment. Actually, I'm starting to think about making a one-time exception for the Codpiece in Chief, along with at least 50 to 100 of his closest confidants, suckups and adminstration co-conspirators -- and triple hard time for anyone named KKKarl Rove. And then there's Paula Zahn and Wolfie and Rush and Sean and Weiner and Bill and....

13. THE AMERICA OF GEORGE W. BUSH

It is a place gripped by fear, a cowardly nation where personal security is considered to be more important than preserving the precious freedoms that were purchased with the lives of selfless patriots. It is a place of intrigue where the majority of people are manipulated into supporting policies that are designed to defraud them. It is a place where the ends justify the means, and corruption is the governing philosophy. It is a place where “restoring honor and dignity to the Oval Office” consists of lying and cheating and breaking the law.

The America of George W. Bush is a place where conformity is prized over individuality, and reason is synonymous with hatred, and dissent is indistinguishable from treason. It is a place where science is subservient to superstition, and truth is viewed as being subversive, and democracy means not counting votes.

The America of George W. Bush is a place where might makes right. It achieves foreign policy objectives the old fashioned way – by slaughtering defenseless people. Loyal allies who fail to appreciate the wisdom of this approach are excoriated for their treachery, while domestic dissidents are shouted down and marginalized. In Bush’s America, fighting terrorism abroad is used as a pretext for vanquishing civil liberties at home.

The America of George W. Bush is a place where military personnel are exalted as national treasures at photo opportunities, then shipped off to die to enhance the profits of the Fortune 500. Those soldiers who are not killed come home to a future of reduced medical care, because lavishing largesse on military contractors is more important than caring for has-been warriors who no longer serve a useful political purpose. Like the elderly champions who once labored to build the economy - and who courageously defended the nation against attack - our returning young heroes are now ruthlessly abandoned to fend for themselves…to sink or swim.
