MICKEY Z.: Osama Wants Your Mortgage

[Tace]

Mickey Z. -- World News Trust

George W. Bush has pulled no punches in describing how he feels about his enemies. "Our war against terror is a war against individuals whose hearts are full of hate," he says, brimming with sincerity. Why are those hearts full of hate, you ask? As always, Dubya's got the answers: "People say,well, why -- and I know a lot of kids are probably asking, well, why America? And you've just got to understand that the enemy hates us because of what we love."

So, we wonder, what do "we" love that "they" love to hate? Bush is again happy to clarify: "They hate us because we love the idea that people can worship an Almighty God any way he or she sees fit. They hate us because we love political discourse and a free society. They hate us because of our free press. They hate everything about us, because of our freedom ... They don't like the thought of Christian, Jew and Muslim living side by side in peace ... The more we value the ability to worship God the way we see fit, the more they hate us. The more we honor church and synagogue and mosque, the more they hate us. The more we speak our mind freely, the more they hate us."

The hate that fills their hearts, explains Bush, can manifest itself in many ways -- not all of them obvious. "Let me tell you something else about the enemy," the commander-in-chief warns. "They're resourceful, they're slippery, they're the ones who hide in caves."

However, there is one small problem with the whole they- hate- us- because- we- love- freedom line of thinking. None other than Osama bin Laden himself has declared: "If Bush says we hate freedom, let him tell us why we didn't attack Sweden, for example." (Public Enemy #1 has an ironic sense of humor. Who knew?)

They also hate it when they're being dominated by foreign powers, and they hate the fact that it all has to do with us trying to screw them out of their natural resources.
