If Bush was a Foreign Dictator

[NoBushSpokenHere]

Here in the land of the free, if we were to glance across the pond and see a man like Bush standing on the other side, we would be working with the UN on peaceful solutions to disarm the man of his dreams. We would set forth embargo's on his oil and prohibit him from war time or disaster reconstruction with no bid contracts for his business associates. We would be apprehensive of attacks from him, and would be seeking UN approvals for weapons inspections and negotiating for peaceful solutions. We may even send in special forces to remove him from power. We would hope that he would escape to some remote island and never project fear or harm upon anyone again. But he is not across the pond. He holds the reigns of our country. Our freedoms are in his hands.

These are the same hands that reportedly shake from alcohol or drug withdrawal. These are the same hands that have shaken on private deals with the members of our Congress. The same hands that sign or veto legislation affecting our rights and freedoms in this fabled land of the free and the brave. We see the quagmire in Iraq and mourn the lives of the innocent while praying they do not come for our sons and daughters. We wonder why we are not boycotting his oil, his war, his terrible manner of running the country.

It shouldn't be so difficult to determine where his or his friend’s holdings are, but as we look around in this quagmire of a country, we find roadblocks or too many distractions to truly focus on the means to the end. How do countries like Iraq end up with Shi'ites battling Shi'ites? Look around in this quagmire of this once great nation and you will see the answer. Our oppressed party cannot even unite to sing in unison to our congress to demand paper ballots or any hope of election reform. How do they keep us divided on this issue? Answer is fairly easy to comprehend if you understand the hands that have shaken those you trust.

Yes, if this were a leader across the pond, we could find a peaceful solution to removing him from power. Our country has managed to control foreign leaders more times than we care to admit. So, why can't we as a people find a way to take care of our side of the pond?

1. We would leave his country a sheet of glass (nuclear) for

launching illegal wars of aggression.

2. Yes we would

Just look what we did to over 100,000 innocent Iraqi citizens and 2,000 of our own? And, what would we have done to a country that condoned the extreme torture and murders of Abu Ghraib and GITMO? I am ashamed to be American if this is what it means to be American.
