So a few people have dropped me messages telling me about how the President declared September 11th “Patriot Day”. In his statement he says,
"On this first observance of Patriot Day, we remember and honor those who perished in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001... Our Armed Forces have pursued the war against terrorism in Afghanistan and elsewhere with valor and skill... They have achieved success.""Americans also have fought back against terror by choosing to overcome evil with good. By loving their neighbors as they would like to be loved, countless citizens have answered the call to help others... As we mark the first anniversary of that tragic day, we remember their sacrifice; and we commit ourselves to honoring their memory by pursuing peace and justice in the world."
"NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim September 11, 2002, as Patriot Day."
Now, let's take a look at some of that. According to Bush, the US military has already fought the war on terror — and won! That's good to hear, I guess that means the troops are back at home planting flowers and we're moth balling our bombs, right? Thank God the threat is over, let's get back to guzzling oil now. It could have gone really bad. The US could have overreacted and trashed both its economy and its civil rights, but thankfully that didn't happen because they won the war on terror so quickly.
I'm so glad to hear as well that Americans “do unto others as they would have others do unto them” and treat the world with love. It's nice to know that big nations like America don't have policies like preemptive strikes or anything like that. I'm so glad that America treats all nations fairly and with love. Some nations would have allowed their megacorporations to take advantage of this and abuse their own people for financial gain, but luckily the overwhelming environment of love in the United States didn't allow that to happen.
It's reassuring to know that America honors the memory of those lost in 9/11 by pursuing peace and justice. Some people would have attacked a scapegoat and killed many innocent people for revenge, but thankfully America is a peaceloving nation and no one else had to die. I am very happy that America always requires lots of evidence before launching an invasion, and has global peace as it's prime goal. With such strong advocates of peace, the world must be a wonderfully serene place.
What a load of bullshit.
If I was in America, I'd tell President that I refuse to celebrate any fake holiday and I am tired of him trying to politically capitalize on death. I'd tell him that I refuse to pay for policies that guarantee more and larger attacks on (relatively) innocent Americans. I'd tell him that I'm sick of his lies, and most importantly, I'd tell the dimwit that Patriot Day is already the third monday in April to commemorate the battle of Lexington and Concord, and that being from Texas is no excuse for being ignorant of the holidays of the Northeast United States.
It's pretty sad when an uneducated Canadian is more aware of both world and domestic issues than the Yale-educated US president.
