WTF Is It Now?!?

C'est le guerre, douchebag
Sniffs Andrew Sullivan: “Anti-Americanism is spreading far and wide. I wonder one thing: do they understand that America actually has self-respect? And that America's power can actually fight back against its enemies?”

I wonder if Sullivan understands that the American government has been hijacked in a bloodless coup d’etat by a small group of radical nationalist thugs who have total contempt for democratic process, long-established rule of law, individual rights, and especially international treaties. Selected by the Supreme Court after an election that ended in a statistical tie and in clear contempt for his own promise to be “a uniter, not a divider,” Bush has ruled from day one as if he had a mandate to undertake the most radical reordering of the government in American history.

Far from being principled conservatives, the Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld axis of evil has cynically manipulated one of the greatest tragedies in American history to further a pre-existing corporatist/fundamentalist agenda (carefully hidden from the public while Bush was running for office) to turn back the clock on civil liberties, women’s rights, environmental and arms control agreements and other manifestations of global good citizenship. In the process, they have squandered the enormous goodwill offered by most of the world’s nations in the wake of 9/11 and with it a chance to lead a real and effective coalition to end the specter of radical Islamic terror once and for all.

Our response to the outpouring of sympathy and offers of help from the global community has been bellicose and belligerent attempts to bully our natural allies into supporting an unnecessary and unrelated war in Iraq and to issue a new strategic military plan that serves notice that we intend to dominate the globe, by force if necessary, for now and forever, amen.

Could it be, Andy dear, that they hate not out of envy but because we’ve been behaving like a bunch of arrogant pricks? - borrowed from the highly recommended Best of the Blogs.
