Sick of Bush

SOB is sitting in an uncomfortable hotel room in Princeton, NJ watching CNN while reviewing paperwork for his nine to five (more like seven to eight) day job. Shrub is saying that the current middle east conflict represents the effort of 'terrorists' who oppose 'the march of peace.' What happened to the 'march of democracy'? Lot's of marching in the Bush scenarios. The truth is that abstractions on the march are totally irrelivant to the situations in question. 'Terrorists' are people who have very specific political objectives that have nothing to do with opposing the 'march' of anything. The singular fact that the Bush administration has NEVER honestly addressed the reason for terrorits activity is a good indication of how dishonest their own position is. We cannot address a situation while pretending that it is something other than it is. Anyone who believes that 'the terrorists' are doing what they are doing because 'they hate our freedoms' are living in a world that is pretty much a fantasyland. Wake up before we all die. There is very little latitude for this kind of nonsense. Those who engage in terrorist activities do so because they have policy objectives they don't think can be met through other paths, but they are not engaged in attacking 'our freedom' (nor, as Bush said today 'the march of peace'????).

We do, indeed, live in a kind of political twilight zone.
