I just watched on the news as Bush stated (in response to the photo of Saddam in his undies in The Sun) that it wouldn't "inspire murderers" and that these muderers (the insurgents) are "inspired by an ideology that is so barbaric and foreign to westerners."
WTF?!?!?!
Oh, sure. I have no idea why they would want the tyrannical US out of their country. I have no idea what could drive them to fight our troops fiercely until they leave. It's not like we did the same thing oh, say, about 230 years ago. You know, 1776. Is the average American so naive as to buy this heavy load of shit? Are we as a society so dumb and, As George Santayana warned, doomed to repeat history because we have forgotten?
To my fellow Americans:
Whether or not you know, understand and/or choose to accept it, we are a nation founded on terrorism by insurgents. The terrorist acts were many, including completely ignoring the "civilised" rules of war at the time. The Boston Tea Party? Fort William and Mary? John the Painter? The Minutemen were our insurgents. As were our militia. These were family men, farmers, serving time to fight the tyrannical rule of the Imperialist British.
Have we come this far only to become the red coats?
