George's foreign Affairs

After George Jr’s recent visit with the Russian President Vladimir Putin, I am reminded of his last stay with Mr. Putin; which at the time put a wonder into my skull, after reading this quote from GW in the New York Times about two months ago.

"Mr. Bush said in the grand setting of Concert Noble, a 19th century hall. 'We must always remind Russia, however, that our alliance stands for a free press, a vital opposition, the sharing of power and the rule of law - and the United States and all European countries should place democratic reform at the heart of their dialogue with Russia.'"

I find this funny for two distinct reasons:

1) The President is asking of Russia to obediently follow the US and Europe while the US deliberately went against the wishes of almost the entire world, which includes Europe and Russia (but as the President would sure like to remind you, "not every country was against us, Poland was with us too"), and attacked a foreign nation without any provocation.

2) This is the fact that originally struck my attention from the quote. The President demands that "our alliance stands for a free press." Once again I believe our President has forgotten about his party's reprimanding of his predecessor. I believe a few years ago a President was under heated scrutiny of sexual taboos. After finding nothing criminal it was agreed upon that that President had committed great atrocities by not leading by example for our children. With this criticism I ask GW why he has failed to do the same. He demands the "free press" but has paid and planted several reporters of high class news organizations to push his agenda. With this criticism I ask GW why he has failed as leader of the free world to bring diplomacy to even our allies, yet demand it of other nations. With this criticism I ask GW why he has, over a two week course in February, threatened seven different nations with his physical force, yet can't respect the ideas of the rest of the United Nations. Now I would ask what is harder to explain to your children, an Oral Sex reference completely unrelated to the duties of work and unqualified to be used as real news and merely reported for sensationalism, or explaining to your children what it means when your President is buying off the press, what it means when the leader of the free world is demanding through violent physical force a particular thought and philosophy on independent cultures and nations, what it means when the highest office in the land uses its physical might to manipulate those with less physical power. The nature of Bill Clinton's dumb mistakes were unknown by the children of our nation, and by involved parenting and media responsibility any relay of this information to innocent ears could have been avoided. George W. Bushes' acts not only have to be explained to small children they must be explained and rationalized to foreign lands, our political leaders, and all people of our country. George W. Bush has reversed our foreign relations progress decades with his mistakes.
