| Scott McClellan's Book Slamming President Bush Just Shows How Politically Civilized This Country Is, Because He Would Have Ended Up Missing If It Was Another Country. |
| I think he is lucky to be an American. I have little opinion about his motives or if it was justified or not, but it says a lot about how politically civilized this country is. It separates the civilized nations from the uncivilized nations. In China he would have simply disappeared, in the middle east, his head would have been cut off, in Cuba, he would have been in prison until he died. |

That's a pretty good point. We take this stuff for granted. We are so used to political battles
and scandals that it's a part of our way of life. I guess to some that would be an intolerable
situation, but it is how we are, and how we were born (as a country). |

It shows a president lying to a dumbed-down submissive population which regards him with an
irrational reverence, comparable to the Fuhrer-worship formerly prevalent in Germany, as he takes
the country on a murderous adventure which will soon lead to the extinguishing of more than a
million innocent lives. Yes, civilised indeed.
It shows the same president demagoguing about an imaginary threat from WMD then, for petty political
revenge, torpedoing the career of an intelligence operative who had spent years building up a
clandestine network of contacts whose ultimate purpose was to protect the country against any
emerging real threat from WMDs.
When his crime is discovered, he lies about it, promises to find the perpetrator, finds a scapegoat
then uses the powers of his office to shield the scapegoat from any legal retribution. And the
dumbed-down, morally bankrupt population just accepts that. Again, very civilised.
It's pretty sad when you get to the stage of having to make comparisons with third-world despotisms
just to feel good about yourself. A bit like Cortes murdering his way through the natives of Latin
America then boasting "Well, at least we don't practice human sacrifice." |
