The saddest words in the world

12/19/2005

Sometimes, in all the anger and logical arguments that are bandied about like tennis balls, we forget. Sometimes, in this world, logic, reason, the ability to debate ideas at a level above what is expected from a ten year old is not important. Sometimes, simply being rich and powerful is enough to justify your continued wealth and power, to allow you to stand up in front of the entire world and singlehandedly degrade the human race, to ensure future generations will look back on us in disgust. Thanks George Bush's speech writer.

In the face of massive destruction, of sheer loonacy at extremely high levels, we settle back and watch the final episode of Desperate Housewives and pretend for another day that somewhere, somehow, someone has this whole war thing under control.

What are these words? 'victory' 'terrorist' 'honour' 'corruption' 'democracy' 'repressive'? Are these not the saddest words in the world? Glued together with propoganda and flawed reasoning, the story should be religated to a trashy novel, but is instead spoken by the president of our 'free world'. There is good and evil, the good guys have to emerge victorious against the innately develish evil guys. Did the government borrow that storyline from hollywood? or visa versa?

At the very least, please, save me from hearing any country in the world who fails significantly to have EVER had a female president to self instate themselves as an authority on who'se looking out for women. Or was that the little comic moment?

And also, when you are faced with any choice, there are always more than two options. Maybe it would pay for someone to teach that to presidential candidates before they inherit massive power without even the most rudimentary of reasoning skills. 

Or was that one of those immensley clever speeches, like those double sided pictures, you need only to swap 'Iraq' with 'America' to get a perfect description of 'the greatest democracy on earth'.
