Our Spreading Moral Values
This heartbreaking story carried by the BBC sheds light on further gaps in the George W. Bush Plan for better global living through Christian Fundamentalist living.0 comments
God, it seems, keeps stumbling, picking the wrong guy waaaay too often.
The administration talks a great game, but only seems able to handle its favorites on the "A List" of evildoers. Any petty dictator or rebel warlord whose country falls sadly onto the "B List" or below will just have to cope with beheading his citizenry, and raping its children, without our sizeable public relations assistance.
The administration has talked at horrified length about the "thousands of his own people" that Saddam was responsible for dispatching to the Almighty since the early 1980s when he was our buddy. But Uganda's Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), under leader Joseph Kony, does away with that many by lunch on some days.
And not one peep from 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
But, of course, this is an atrocity with no oil. With no Bush family ties.
Only human misery on an epic scale performed in the name of creating a moral country that would be based on the Ten Commandments.
Oh, so that's OK, then.
When Bill Clinton was lying to one and all (although mostly himself), at least he wasn't invoking the name, righteousness and backing of the Lord at every photo-op, while his cronies steal the country blind.
