Dear Rest of the World… VOTE FOR BUSH!
I am here to ask you to please do everything in your power to reelect George Bush Junior. (Does he by the way become Senior ever, and if so when?) But before I go into why we must work for his reelection I think I better define, for those that don’t know, who you the rest of the world are.
Obviously Tony Blair wants Bush to be reelected president and so by default, even if they don’t want him, the United Kingdom has to go along with it. Unless they of course decide to recall or impeach Tony, which the English, being so civilized and restrained in all matters except football would just not do. So, obviously Britain is not the rest of the world, therefore anyone outside of that country and the United States, are technically The rest of the world.
You might say “but if what you really are talking about here is the Alliance of Goodness, why are you not including Spain, Australia and Italy and all those other little countries that supported the crusades against unrepentant Iraq?”
Well, simply put Australia, please forgive me down there, is not a world power, I don’t even think they will ever be, they may have participated in the war effort to get the “next to big brother feeling” but really the Los Angeles police department is more destructive than any aussie commando.
The Italians were there too, shame on the Vatican for not stopping Berlusconi, the Pope should have refused the religious tax that the state pays the Holy See until all Italian troops came home. But really Italians are suppose to be food lovers, and romantic lovers, and passionate and aesthetic, I know that is a stereotype but that is a stereotype that I wish my own country Colombia would share. However Colombia and Italy are equally insignificant in the game plan; I don’t take Italian soldiers seriously, they should do the same as Spain, which is simply to adopt a foreign legion, at least that way deserting cowards can be excused for not being patriotic.
There are of course a bunch of other countries that supported the war effort and they are not mentioned here because frankly they should close their foreign relations imaginings, shut down all embassies, you may keep the consulates for visa revenues, but really, please, stop wasting our time.
Now then, anyone who can follow logic has so far deduced that the rest of the world is anyone outside of the United States and England.
Having said that I must now project forward the fact that I did not support the war against Iraq, currently credited with 9436 Iraqis deaths, and 957 American and alliance soldiers dead, with ignored, not dead, thousands injured. But part of the reason I did not support the war was because I did not realize that it would be a watershed point, perhaps even I dare say, the climax of American power. A downfall which while unrecognizable started when the Soviet Union collapsed as it was the cold war polar opposites that held the two dichotomies in gyroscopic equilibrium.
Indeed the war in Iraq has been, even if it is won in the end, which would require a wide definition of victory, indeed the war has been an Spectacle Emasculator of American prestige and power and has then, the most likely capacity to humble America and then perhaps to help it to join the world community as more of an equal partner.
Certainly the events have displayed courageously that being brave is not the same as being successful, and I believe they will further demonstrate that culture is more powerful than might, and so in the end, the results expected from this war, outside of marketing, will publish a record of infamy.
And it is not just an infamy of what has happened to Iraqis, it is what Bush has done to his own nation, even McCarthyism does not compete in the level of destruction harmonized against American respectability in the world. Dully put, today America is suffering from their own internal terrorist, Bush!
That the American people needed this is questionable, there is nothing wrong with greatness and they certainly have had it, but Bush has put that greatness to question: he has turned immortal America into an error-prone, helpless, vulnerable and finally doubtful and objectionable power.
Again I can not imagine that this is good for America, but I think it is fair to say that Bush has become an extension of the terrorist rather than a front; and as such he is creating a more level playing field where American morality and its approach to world domination, through its subjective ideals and values, will become suspect and challengeable.
Over all, for America Bush is a bad omen, but for the rest of the world… Vote for Bush: he levels your playing field.
