Op-Ed: Global Tests and Whore's Knickers

[palomaki]

Excellent op-ed just posted at the Raw Story by expat author D.A. Blyler concerning this whole "global test" issue:

-snip-

...every security minded citizen in the United States should be truly frightened. Why? Because the Bush administration’s unbridled disregard for legitimacy has made another terrorist attack on the homeland far more likely. Sloughing off proofs like a whore’s knickers, the President has erected Uncle Sam in his own reckless image, perceived internationally as roguish even by our oldest friends. Among European and Asian communities there is a growing feeling that if Bush is re-elected America deserves whatever it gets. When pressed, these critics admit they don’t actually wish another terror attack on the United States; they simply are frustrated and don’t much care anymore.

1. The election of George Bush would be a disaster for us.

It would not only give him the next four years, it will legitimize the last four years. Europe will never understand how we could do that.

2. Well, one part of Europe...

... Germany, will understand. :think:
