I hate the word “meme” but, nevertheless
I use it here. A valuable meme to any anti-Bush protest should be a plea to other nations to help. “Help us, Europe, to get rid of our tyrant.” “Help us France, England, Germany, Japan, Italy, Sweden, etc. Please. We’re in the dark here. It’s our turn to need help.”

In my opinion it would serve to let other nations know that there are many of us who hate this administration and that America is not dead. It would serve to embarrass this administration. They (Bushovics) respond to embarrassment. They hate it. And you know what else, the other nations may just help us.

“Look at us neighbor nations. We have an administration that is violating our constitution. This administration is torturing people in our name. Help us. They are spying on us. Please Help. They’re raping our treasury just like they have Iraq’s. Please help us stop them.”

Let it ring as a part of every protest. Let the O’Reilly’s and Hannity’s claim it as an embarrassment or just another liberal whine. Hammer it. Hammer it all over this land. Like Pete said, “Hammer out the danger.”
