Your President is delusional...

In his inaugural address today, President Bush (AKA Mitt Romney's master) said the following:

"We are led, by events and common sense, to one conclusion: The survival of liberty in our land increasingly depends on the success of liberty in other lands. The best hope for peace in our world is the expansion of freedom in all the world...."

Nothing else quite sums up the missionary dementia that corrodes the President's mind. This nation has never before been committed with any success to the dubious notion that we can impregnate foreign countries with our virile democratic seed. If we did, we would not put Donald Rumsfeld's Pentagon in charge of such an epic task. For that fact, democracy cannot be sired on a global basis by a bunch of Texas drunks, religious fantaics, market worshippers, plutocrats, hooligans and corruptards. But yet on they march, over the bodies of American soldiers, and (to hear Seymour Hersh tell it) on to Iran.
Before Bush decided to metaphorically fuck his way to a democratic world full of god fearing little baby Americas, the U.S. was content to be the predominant actor in a global balance of power. We never worried about democracy behind the Iron Curtain, our freedoms here at home FLOURISHED whilst half the world toiled neath' the whip of international communism. Our alliances were strong, our word was good, our powder was dry.
There is a sort of "attention deficit" quality to Bush's more orular foreign policy pronouncements. Cursed with impatience and NO clear understanding of the gap between his goals and OUR resources Bush spouts these nonsensically easy solutions to the problem of terrorism.
When Humble Elias was a wee lad, it was an article of faith that he'd grow up and die in a bipolar world divided between the USA and the USSR. The "problem" of Marxism-Leninism was considered too complex for an easy resolution. Turns out demographics doomed the Warsaw Pact, but no one was excessively worried about a bipolar world-except maybe the late Allen Drury.
Yet somehow today's the "problem" of terrorism is so much worse than the old nuclear Balance of Power that it requires an immediate and global fix.
