Bush 43 saw only too well how his dad was played by Europe and the Saudis - how the USA was entangled with folks who treated their people like dirt and who exploited the third world like it was still 1885.

He understood how these folks were getting rich and playing games with WMD. He thought to himself "Why not get rid of the Saddam threat and create a democracy in the middle east - one that treats its people fairly and does not oppress women?"

Naively Bush 43 thought the west would embrace his vision. He did not understand that the only nation who really believes in global democracy is the USA. He figures well even if they don't support democracy in Iraq - at least they'll stay out of the way. Again he underestimated the folks who see nothing wrong with genocide. Only after we got into Baghdad and looked at the records did we suddenly arrive at the sheer extent of the corruption in Europe and the UN.

The "good guys" our 'allies' were nothing of the kind. They were corrupt to their eyeballs in bribes, smuggled oil, human rights violations galore. they broke every treaty they ever signed to in regards to Iraq.

Then Europe shoves this 'imperialist USA' bs across the media and the least informed of the US immediately buy into it. When the opposite was true - we were FREEING Iraq from Europloitation and their immoral, genocidal business dealings.

Bush is made out as a demon by folks who are a hundred times more evil and corrupt. Bush's intelligence was mocked by folks in both Europe and the USA who are too dumb/uninformed to even understand what's going on around them.

Bush can't say aloud "Well, Europe is now pretty much evil, genocide-loving, muslim beholden, socialists." he has to bite his tongue and talk about "freedom" because our relationships with these nations are already a joke. They are no more our allies - since 1991 they have behaved JUST like enemies of the USA.

The USA is on the moral white horse and Europe, Russia & China are on their black steeds with blood smeared behind them from Burma to the Sudan and all over the world where their exploitation manifests.

I'm starting to feel like Tom - I'm pointing out the obvious again and again and banging my head against the wall with no result - but to all too many folks who are uninformed as to the real machinations behind the whole Saddam issue. And this post will be ignored by those who refuse to let this information sink in - because they have vested so much of their minds to hating Bush, the GOP and in other instances America.
