Out of Step with the World

[metis]

I suppose it is highly unlikely that George W. Bush or any of his right-wing deep thinkers would give the time of day to anything said or thought by FDR, perhaps the greatest President of the United States in the 20th (or maybe any other) century. It is simply too much of a stretch for W. and the rest to accept and understand the wisdom underlying the great man's words.

Ever since not finding a single Weapon of Mass Destruction, nor any sign of the development of nuclear weapons, nor any other saleable reason to declare war on Iraq, President Bush has been trying to convince the American people that the cause of freedom and the establishment of a democratic state in Iraq were reasons enough for the deaths of more than 1800 (and counting) young Americans.
--
For quite a spell it was enough for most Americans. But then, as the daily counting of American casualties began to mount, the realization began to seep through into Middle America, that Mr. Bush's War is a war without end; that there will be never be a surrender by America's enemies; that America, and the American Empire is out of step with the rest of the world.
And then came the lady in the ditch.
--
And that means there is not a big enough can of turd polish in the world to tidy up the image of America emanating from the White House as long as the Bushites are in residence.
