The world view of America

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, addressing the U.N. General Assembly today, said "The devil came here yesterday", referring to Bush's Tuesday address there and making the sign of the cross. "He came here talking as if he were the owner of the world." Joining with Iran and Cuba he accused Washington of "domination, exploitation and pillage of peoples of the world", and appealed "to the people of the United States and the world to halt this threat, which is like a sword hanging over our head". Hugo, you nicely summed up the feelings of the majority of Americans.

Iranian President Ahmadinejad took the podium hours later, denouncing U.S. policies in Iraq and Lebanon and accusing Washington of abusing its power in the Security Council to punish others while protecting its own interests and allies. He insisted that his nation's nuclear activities are "transparent, peaceful and under the watchful eye" of inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency and reiterated his nation's commitment to the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty. Let's sum this up: sovereign nation, under U.N. watch, asking for dialogue. . .yep, Bush will definately attack them next. It's right from his playbook.

And in Afghanistan, President Hamid Karzai warned that terrorism is rebounding in his country and that efforts to build democracy there had suffered setbacks over the past year as violence increased. NATO forces have been battling Taliban militants in some of the fiercest battles since the hard-line government was toppled in 2001. "We have seen terrorism rebounding as terrorists have infiltrated our borders to step up their murderous campaign against our people," he told the General Assembly. It's a damned good thing that we finished the job there before recklessly invading the sovereign nation of Iraq.

Thank GOD that George W. Bush has been working so hard on defeating the terrorists around the world. He's created so many new ones with his reckless abandon and complete disregard for our constitution as well as international treaties that he must be working triple shifts to keep up. From what I have been able to glean from his schedule, he apparently co-ordinates most of this work from his ranch in Crawford. Those lucky Texans. I wish we had a fearless Hoosier protector. Someone to work overtime HERE to protect our roller rinks, petting zoos, and general stores from terrorists. Lord knows, those Spaniards and Aussies are bent on taking over our fine state (Rumor has it that they have already obtained a large chunk of property north of here)!

Oops! I have to go now. . .Survivor is coming on, and I have Nascar on cable after that. And did you hear the latest about Britney? And Michael? No need for me to worry about the other stuff; George and Mitch have got it all covered. . .
