President Bush: Keep your freedom and democracy to yourself

 

The international community does not want George W. Bush's Freedom

and Democracy neither does it want its Hearts and Minds won over by

Shock and Awe tactics, thank you very much. If George Bush was

elected President of the United States of America, why does he

address himself to the rest of the world?

 

Let's face it, if there was an election in the international

community, George W. Bush might get elected as a member of a freak

show, or perhaps a kitchen hand, handing out plastic turkeys in tents

but for the leadership of a country? Perhaps, in a handful of

countries like Albania, for instance, which might think first about

the bank account rather than any notion of political leadership but

in the international community as a whole, the NO vote would be far

in excess of 80%, as is patently evident in numerous opinion polls.

 

If President Bush is an example to go by, we do not want his freedom

and democracy. We do not want a model of freedom and democracy which

sees the President of a country slink into his office in an armoured

car which resembles a tank, guarded by 13.000 bodyguards plus

countless other security personnel, creeping along a route lined by

thousands of protesters.

 

We do not want his freedom and democracy which saw him slip out the

back door of Number 10 Downing Street on his visit to London, the

first such escape route used by any international leader any time in

history, and during whose visit for the first time ever a statue of

the President of the United States of America was toppled, to the

cheers of thousands of lookers-on. Jimmy carter got out of his car

and walked to the White House. Why can't Bush? The answer is simple:

people do not like his Freedom and Democracy.

 

We do not want his freedom and democracy which is so popular that

even in London, the capital city of the country and government

closest to Washington, his state visit was restricted to three

streets and a hurried trip to Tony Blair's constituency in a heavily

guarded motorcade.

 

We do not want his freedom and democracy, which saw the wholesale

slaughter of tens of thousands of innocent civilians in Iraq, a

country invaded upon a pretext which did not exist. We do not want a

freedom and democracy based upon barefaced lies.

 

We do not want a freedom and democracy based on the US model, where

the electoral system can be rigged so easily, in this, one of the few

countries which still has the death penalty. We do not want a freedom

and democracy based on Washington's flawed model, controlled by a

clique of corporate elitists who gravitate around the White House,

making a mockery of their people and a mockery of democracy and which

practise a policy of freedom of the press which makes the Gestapo

look like fairy godmothers.

 

The international community is made up of hundreds of sovereign

nations with models of government which reflect in some cases

thousands of years of history and culture, which is to be respected,

not obliterated in a wave of blind arrogance fuelled by the greed of

Washington's invisible masters.

 

The international community does not want, nor does it need, the

model imposed by a country barely 200 years old, with serious human

rights problems, whose history is associated with ethnic cleansing of

its native population, whose history is based upon the illegal

deportation of races, a country whose military forces even today

practise torture and which has concentration camps in more than one

continent where the terms of the Geneva Convention are broken.

 

George Bush can keep his freedom and democracy to himself and to his

own country. Nobody asked for his opinion abroad and nobody is

interested in his opinion abroad. Each and every movement of the US

regime outside its territory will be seen as belligerence,

interference, and arrogance and is bound to produce an exponential

reaction of hatred in the four corners of the Earth.

 

The very notion that George Bush can make a speech to begin his

second and last term as president of the USA, referring to the

international community, gives rise to the notion that he has a self-

opinionated and inflated sense of his own importance.

 

Who asked for his opinion outside the USA and basically, who gives a

two penny damn about what he believes in? It is his problem and that

of the people he claims elected him. As for the rest, take a look at

Iraq to see how very successful his foreign policy can be. Two years

on, his forces are on the defensive, have lost control of the

situation and there are now more Resistance Fighters than US troops.

 

Washington's Freedom and Democracy, anyone? No thanks. Let George

Bush sort his own problems out and leave the rest of the world alone.

Nobody called him and nobody wants him and judging by his

inauguration " party " , neither do a substantial proportion of American

citizens.
