American Hypocrisy

 

            
             Last night I was thinking about a news broadcast I had seen a few weeks early, the top story of the night was that victory had been won in Iraq and saddam hussein had been killed, followed by some footage of Iraqis throwing up cheers and knocking over statues. This doesn't seem to disturbing, what really shocked me was what story ran after that, it was a report on a murder that had happened recently, the anchor talked about what a horrible tragedy it was to have this innocent life taken from us, that in these modern times it amazed him a person could do that. That's a tragedy? Theirs things going on in the world that are a lot worse than a murder in Edmonton, and if you think that person is sick for killing one other human being, George Bush has probably killed hundreds, maybe even thousands, and I"m not talking about the Iraqi soldiers, I"m talking about the innocent women and children who were merely in the wrong place at the wrong time, because Bush thought that maybe there might be a chance that sadam was going to use biological weapons on the United States. Wow I"m glad we averted that terrible tragedy and got all those weapons back. Wait a second, we didn't. Oh but don't worry, because they definitely have the weapons, the proof? Well Washington's got the receipts from when they sold them to Iraq of course, jeez what a smart decision that was; you never know when selling nuclear warheads to Middle Eastern countries might blow up in your face, so you should probably keep those receipts! So now that the war is over I wonder what George will do? I mean he doesn't have any one else to bully around, and I don't think there are any other countries threatening the states, he might actually have to start, I don't know, doing something as a leader, you know, for the country, jeez that's a scary thought. .
             The worst part of the entire war situation must have been the reaction from the American people to ANYONE who apposed the war, if you said a single thing that makes it even seem like you don't think the wars a good idea, they"ll boycott you, you have to love your right to your opinion, as long as its just like everyone else's of course.
