Embarrassed

Here are the first, middle and last victims of Bush's war. Bush, just because it's happened before, it doesn't make it legitimate. It's the ultimate wrong of civilization. You cower behind your West Wing walls, pulling justifications for your actions out of the Handbook of Immoral and Despicable Behavior, the very same book carried in Hitler's vest pocket. The world looked up to these United States as the promising moral leader of our future. The world was in our pocket following 9-11. Yet you have now taken the rest of the world and tossed it into the vat now fermenting the hatred of America.

We are 6% of the world's people. No matter how advanced we are both militarily and technologically, if we continue down this path of imperialism then our only destination is the military, economic and political revolution of the remaining 94%, thus bringing to end a flawed, yet promising republic. I liked being an American. I passionately despise the hateful, arrogant actions of most of our elected representatives, and I mourn the civilians of Iraq who have suffered, are suffering and will suffer even much more from the brutality and completely dispassionate conduct of George W. Bush. I am an overwhelmingly and helplessly embarrassed American.
