Bush: The Great American Dictator

I have to get this off my chest so bear with me.

The world used to love America and all the American tourists that traveled the world. The era is gone all because of President George W. Bush. He has cut us off from the rest of the world, made us into the 'bad guys', and he has an agenda.

What could Bush's agenda possibly be?

One word: POWER. He knows that his father was a lame-duck president and he not only wants to erase that image but also wants his place in the history books. Well, at the rate he is going, his place in the history books will be last place in terms of accomplishments.

He invaded Iraq on two fronts: one was to complete the mission that his father started but failed to finish which was to capture Saddam. The other was to secure the oil, plain and simple. Now he has created a monster. Iran wants us dead, Syria wants us dead, Lebanon wants us dead, Iraq certainly wants us to get the hell out of their country, and on and on.

We are stuck in Iraq while our soldiers die on a daily basis. If we leave, the country will disintegrate (which is alright with me) and, if we stay, more soldiers will die or be permanently maimed.

While I am proud of our military soldiers on the ground, I am learning to despise the generals in charge of this whole mess. They should get their own butts to fight alongside our soldiers and put their own lives on the line. THAT would change things quickly, I am sure!

Bring our boys home. End this debacle now. This mission failed so let's impeach this stupid president on the grounds that he is certainly and certifiably insane.

One more thing, I am quite aware that the president is not the one running this country. Neither is the congress. So, who is, you ask? If you don't know, it is the huge corporations that run this country. How? Money. Lots and lots of money. Put the president and all his men, including congress, in your pocket and you rule the country. The war was good for them.

It's a shame that our young, strong men and women in the military should have to take the blame for the actions of the corporations with the deep pockets. And, alas, nothing will ever change this.
