"Comment: Anything bush says, is just the opposite....example.... if bush
says he believes in freedom, then everyone should know, what he is really
saying is, he believes in slavery.... If bush says he believes in the
country of america, what he really mean's, he wants to destroy America."

Bush Not First US President To Exhibit Master Race Tendencies

"I believe in the universality of freedom," George Bush told the audience at

that this country, this grand country of ours, has an obligation to help
people realize the blessings of freedom."

Bush Not First US President To Exhibit Master Race Tendencies

"I believe in the universality of freedom," George Bush told the audience at
the American Enterprise Institute in Washington last month, "and I believe
that this country, this grand country of ours, has an obligation to help
people realize the blessings of freedom."

This belief, you might even call it a "faith," reflects the "calling"
American presidents have long had to improve, if not remake, the rest of the
world in their own image. Bush is only the latest occupant of the White
House to expound this view. He told AEI he has turned the Afghani "failed
state" into a democracy.

The late Ronald Reagan also said Americans, whom he believed better than
other folks, had an "obligation," and took it upon himself to fund the
Contras to overthrow Nicaragua's legitimate leftist regime. Richard Nixon
before him also held this conceit, and overthrew the elected Socialist
government in Chile . Even the amiable Dwight Eisenhower personally signed
an order okaying a CIA overthrow of Iran 's elected government in 1953.

Rather than submit disputes to international arbitration or have United
Nations peace-keepers get involved, Bush, like his father before him and
presidents Nixon and Johnson, the Viet Nam war-makers, prefers to take
international law into his own hands. When Bush couldn't get the Security
Council to support his invasion of Iraq he defied the UN, with disastous
consequences.

Bush has also trashed many key international treaties (the Anti-Ballistic
Missile and Germ Warfare covenants, for examples) it is apparent he has set
himself above international law. He's too hoity toity to sign any treaty to
slow global warming. His belief that Americans are superior is not much more
than a warmed-over version of Hitler's Master Race theory. Bush may appear
to be very sober, compared to the spellbinding Hitler Americans rightly
identified as nuts, but Bush's two illegal invasions in his first term have
resulted in the deaths of as many people as Hitler exterminated during his
first six years in power. And now Bush is threatening Iran with atomic fire,
a repudiation of President Reagan's pledge America would never start a
nuclear war.

Unfortunately, millions of Americans, like Bush, hate the idea of any
international authority that might limit American power. This may explain
why the US has vetoed more Security Council resolutions than all other
members combined. It explains, too, why every time the phrase "United
Nations" is uttered at a Republican Party convention, the audience erupts
with jeers and catcalls. Indeed, America supremacists of the Project For A
New American Century(PNAC) in 2000 "called for nothing less than the
creation of a worldwide imperial American empire, with forces based all
around the globe," according to "The Book on Bush"(Viking) by Eric Alterman
and Mark Green. Ten PNAC members urged a unilateral U.S. invasion of Iraq,
stating, "American policy cannot continue to be crippled by a misguided
insistence on unanimity in the Security Council." Back in the Thirties
German and Japanese militarists flouted the League of Nations, too. In time,
they simply withdrew. Now Bush is executing PNAC's aggressive agenda.

Initiating aggression comes naturally to Americans. Their children have
grown up reading "Superman" comics and kindred fairy tales for the better
part of a century. In these superficial morality tales, ordinary cops are
portrayed as dunces unable to catch crooks, so "action heroes" fly in to nab
them and right wrongs in the name of the "American Way." The message
conveyed is that existing law enforcement is inadequate to deal with
wrong-doing and only super-powerful beings can achieve justice. Television
plays endless reruns of the so-called "good war" (WWII) and Hollywood fills
the theatres with films of violence and carnage.

Anyway, being superior to everyone else has its priviliges. If Bush doesn't
have Superman's X-ray vision, he nevertheless has the right to eavesdrop on
other people's private conversations. As William Blum points out in "Rogue
State"(Common Courage Press), in 2003 the U.S. even "listened in on UN
Secretary-General Kofi Annan, the UN weapons inspectors in Iraq, and all the
members of the UN Security Council during a period when they were
deliberating what action to take in Iraq."

And just so the Pentagon can keep tabs on what you write on your computer,
the U.S. National Security Agency(NSA) helped to install a secret program in
Microsoft software that, without user knowledge, can read your private
jottings and E-mails, according to a 1999 French Defense Ministry report,
Blum said. This brought no objections from Microsoft's biggest client: the
Pentagon.

The CIA's policy of "extraordinary rendition," first authorized by President
Clinton, enables the American Master Race to fly anywhere in the world and
arrest any person with no court order and remove the individual to another
country for imprisonment, interrogation, torture, and/or summary execution.
Right now, the Italian government would like to lay its hands on a score of
CIA agents for a kidnapping that mocked its sovereignty. Maybe Italy is also
a "failed state"? Some say their spaghetti lacks zest.

That other nationalities are mere ants in America's superior microscopic
world view was was the implicit message of the Army's "School of the
Americas"(SOA). According to a New York Times editorial, the Pentagon
recommended to Latin army officers "interrogation techniques like torture,
execution, blackmail and arresting the relatives of those being questioned."

"For decades SOA grads have been involved in the chain of command of
virtually every major human rights atrocity in Latin America," Blum writes,
including a coup attempt in 2002 against Hugo Chavez in Venezuela. This may
account for why Chavez told the United Nations Bush was the "devil" --- and
got ridiculed by the American media for not being polite to Bush.

U.S. presidents also believe they have a unilateral right to poison inferior
peoples with radioactive wastes. Hence, President Bush Sr. could shoot off
more than 630,000 pounds of depleted uranium shells during the first Gulf
War in Kuwait, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia, according to "Home Front"(Clarity
Press) author Rick Anderson. DU shells were also fired in Kosovo and the
former Yugoslavia in the '90s and, probably in Afghanistan in 2001 and
"extensively" in Iraq in 2003. No matter they littered the landscape with
deadly radioactivity. No matter some Iraqi women since give birth to
hideously deformed infants.

Unfortunately, for Americans, quite apart from the shame and guilt and
financial swindle they are enduring, Bush's conduct is turning the world
against them. Just as Americans would not buy products labeled "Made in
Japan" in the 1930s, American business is likely to suffer globally from
boycotts incited by an anti-Bush backlash, and not just in the Muslim world,
either. Europeans were shocked by the Guantanamo torture revelations.
Another reason to buy Toyotas over GM cars.

Most distressing of all is the heartlessness of the White House. Bush not
only inflicts massive casualties on foreign civilians but denies medical
care to tens of thousands of his own veterans seeking medical relief from
"Gulf War Syndrome." These luckless sepoys dispatched to cram "the blessings
of freedom" down foreign throats are discovering for themselves the PNAC
architects of America's Master Race conceit have slight regard for human
life, and this includes the lives of those who fight their wars.

Meanwhile, let oil-rich Iran and Venezuela watch out--- lest Bush give them
the old master erase.
