I recieved this e-mail from my boss of all things, and promptly sent it on to several of my friends. It has been sent to the president etc, but I thought I would just post it here for good measure I know how you love to listen to me
HELLO AMERICA
The USA is on the brink of war. An aggressive and unpredictable leader is spreading fear and insecurity. His name is George W. Bush.
Mr. Bush possesses massive arsenals of weapons of mass destruction.
He claims he has the right to use them.
He was never elected by a majority of his people.
(32 % of adult Americans voted for Bush. He got 539,989 less votes than opponent Al Gore)
Yay the Electoral College, a wonderful kickback to colonial days. Whatever - he's the legitimate leader of America.
He leads a regime, where he himself – and a rich elite - enjoy enormous wealth and growing privileges, while millions live in poverty and despair.
People of ethnic minorities are oppressed and humiliated.
to the last two statements - true in part, but also hardly unique.
His country ranks highest in the world with regard to
not signing human rights treaties.
Now that I didn't know!
We thank you, America!
Sarcasm appreciated!!!
We know that most Americans want peace, prosperity and justice for all.
You are good people, like most people are, in Iraq, Israel, Palestine, Korea, Ukraine, Australia, Norway, Mexico, Canada, Germany, Indonesia, Brazil, India, Bolivia, Iran, Uganda, Portugal and elsewhere.
No Palestine yet - but point agreed with.
We thank you for giving us Abraham Lincoln, Bessie Smith, Elvis Presley, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Hank Williams, Martin Luther King jr., Toni Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Jesse Owens, Woody Allen, Miles Davis, Ernest Hemingway, Helen Keller, Madonna, John Steinbeck, Jimmy Carter, Julia Roberts, Muhammad Ali and many more.
If we can do anything to help you
get rid of George W. Bush
before he wrecks your reputation
and messes up the whole planet,
please let us know!
Main point - what reputation? As if we have a good name in the world to wreck? And as if removing Bush from power would somehow elevate the world's opinion of America? Hehe... right.
