OK Dubya,
You’ve managed to con enough people in this country to get four more years in office. Whatever it is they believed about you or hope you will do, I think a lot of us understand perfectly well the neocon dreams you’ve bought into and the grand plan for America you have in mind. Never mind that the world abhors your ideas and the thought of World War IV you envision.
Just don’t even think about imposing a draft. My kids aren’t going, and those of so many people I know are not going to support your war lust. Get those wonderful people who support you to send their kids, and send your own while you’re at it. You think this is all going to be some cakewalk or picnic, but the world doesn’t want the American hegemony you and your cronies envision. And lots of us hope all you really have in mind is enriching yourself and your cronies, and that you’re just playing the neocons for fools as well, but I doubt that. You’ve taken every step they, and bin Laden, had hoped you would take so far. It doesn’t look like you intend to start doing right by America and the world anytime soon now.
For the first time in my life, I’m ashamed of and afraid for the country I live in. This isn’t the America I grew up in, and while I hope someday it will be again, at least for four more years we are stuck with you. People just wouldn’t listen when it was so obvious what was coming. You won’t listen to anyone who doesn’t agree with you, surrounded now by all your yes men and your sweet lady friend Condi (who thinks you are her husband, apparently) after kicking out the one possible voice of reason Powell.
Well, have fun fighting your wars and creating the mess you’ve created all your life on a grand global scale now. There’s not much hope that you even have a clue how bad this is going to be, or if you do, I’m sure you just intend to profit from the war and chaos, as the Bush family always has. Chaos is something you all enjoy so much.
Many of us see the truth. We don’t have the power to change what’s happening, but you do. Wake up, let us wake up and end this nightmare. Live up to the real greatness that you want to be, instead of buying into the mightmare scenario those who surround you want to bring on. You may be a good person at heart. It is hard to tell for sure what is the real person and what is the act you portray. But if there’s an ounce of goodness left in you, stop now. Kick out the neocons and their cronies, not the good people who try to tell you the truth and not play up to your ego. Stop the madness, or go down in history as the one who led to America’s downfall as a great power.
Or if not, go ahead. Those of us who still harbor the dream of America will pick up the broken pieces when you are done, just as the truly good people have done after every catastrophe of history. And finally, America will learn the lessons of Never Again.
Too bad so many good people will have to pay such a high price along the way, isn’t it? And too bad you will not be remembered as a great leader, but a disastrous one.
A loyal American, loving mother, and now, a citizen of the world,
Donna
