Myth. Within hours, according to many mainstream
(including a lavish, bootlicking profile in Time
magazine that was produced with the cooperation of
Bush's handlers) and alternative media reports, Bush
had decided to bomb Afghanistan.

No, he only got the support of a few other
bloodthirsty heads of state -- widespread disapproval
and protest confronted Bush's decision to bomb
Afghanistan, instead of focusing investigative
activity to bring the criminals to justice.  As was
widely reported at the time, the overwhelming
international (in the West, at least) pro-American
sentiment, sparked by sympathy for the 9-11 victims
and their families, dissipated as it became obvious
that Bush would seek revenge by bombing a defenseless
country and kill thousands of innocent civilians int
he process.

Anti-American sentiment is at an all-time high,
precisely because Bush and his followers are perceived
as waging a crusade against Islam.  Try reading some
of the reports from Islamic countries, if you don't
have the opportunity to talk to people who live there.
 I have relatives who just returned from Syria and
Turkey, on their way to Manila -- it's ugly out there
for an American, having to explain Bush's statements
and policies.

Terrorist attacks across the globe in the past week or
so, even Bush admits it -- it looks as if the
terrorists, not Bush, had the ability to wait and time
their attacks.

Not yet, anyway.  Give Bush a few more weeks and let
him launch a war on Iraq, and then we'll see, a tragic
experiment, surely -- but I guess a few more thousands
of civilians dead is a small price to pay to realize
Bush's  dream of holy retribution against the
"evildoers".

Amen, brother!  
Praise the almighty global police force!
Hail Bush, Slayer of Evildoers!
