Well everybody, we're at the eve of war, and it seems like there's nothing we can do but sit at home and stare at the TV screens with detached powerlessness. Am I scared? You better BELIEVE I am! Heck, I've already constructed a bomb shelter out of duct tape and cardboard boxes in my backyard! (It's also got a months supply of pringles and moist towlettes, in case this takes a while) Still, while the war on Iraq may be speedy and successful, my large concern lies in what will happen afterwards.

What's terrifying here is that that our incompetent monkey of a president has constantly acted like the opinions of the world are irrelevant, and has shown unending disrespect for the opinions of other countries. In a time when we should be rallying support around the world to end terror, Bush has instead been bullying every country in even mild opposition to us by saying, "You're either with us or against us." By using meaningless buzzwords like "Axis of Evil" in his speeches, he is alienating and insulting our fellow countries when he should be respectfully asking for their help. Rather than try to make his case, Bush threatens anyone who looks at him sideways. Perhaps worst of all is the fact that America has now lost complete credibility with the United Nations, which was up until now the only thin ray of hope we've ever had towards something resembling world peace. Let's face it- the reason we were attacked on 9-11, and by other terrorists in the past, is because much of the world hates our guts. By acting without the support of the world, we are just fueling the worldwide anti-Americanism that got us in trouble in the first place!

Anyhow, (sorry for the long rant!) this is a picture showing George "War" Bush and his paranoid, cowboy approach to world diplomacy. As far as I can tell, a platypus with mental birth defects would make a better president!
