Our interests are served when former enemies become democratic partners -- because free governments do not support terror or seek to conquer their neighbors. Our interests are served by the spread of democratic societies -- because free societies reward the hopes of their citizens, instead of feeding the hatreds that lead to violence….
Well, I guess it’s official. Especially among those who worship the president bush, and believe only the truth comes out of his mouth. There it is, right in his speech. America is no longer a free, democratic society. Gotta be true, georgie says so.
Flying a plane into a building full of people is terrorism. Dropping a bomb from an airplane into a building full of people is terrorism. No difference. We could ask the people affected, but they’re all dead. No matter which way you look at it, both groups are dead. And neither group deserved that fate.
In October of 2004, The Lancet, a medical journal, published the results of a study into civilian deaths in Iraq:
Designed and conducted by researchers at Johns Hopkins University, Columbia University and the Al-Mustansiriya University in Baghdad, the study is being published Thursday on the Web site of The Lancet medical journal.
The survey indicated violence accounted for most of the extra deaths seen since the invasion, and airstrikes from coalition forces caused most of the violent deaths, the researchers wrote in the British-based journal.
"Most individuals reportedly killed by coalition forces were women and children," they said.
Can anyone look into their hearts, and honestly say this is not terrorism? You’d have to ask the families of those people. I don’t think that they’d say, “Don’t worry. It’s ok. We know America is good.”
On March 20, Iraq time, the US invaded Iraq. Can anyone honestly say this was not an attempt to conquer our neighbors?
The president bush, with his obscene tax cuts, and endless war, has plunged the nation into a debt that will leave future generations with a burden they will never be able to repay. Dashing the hopes of future generations. And any honest person would say that the republicans and their allies are certainly feeding the hatreds that breed violence. Anybody that doesn’t believe in their brand of idolatry, they set out to destroy.
Whatever decent Republicans there may have once been, by their silence and acquiescence to the president’s dictatorial administration, they have lumped themselves with the republicans, and those democrats who have cravenly allied themselves with them by their silence and votes. A treasonous, corrupt bunch of thugs.
So, there you have it, right from the lips of the Anointed One and Defender of the Faithful, the president bush.
America is no longer free.
a thank you to the Rude Pundit.
