Mamma mia i più pro-bush si limitano a dire che sono indifferenti alle
proteste ma che è ingiusto che una città venga blindata per un uomo...

 uomo...
Le opinioni di quei cittadini britannici rispetto all'Iraq sono
abbastanza sorprendenti, per chi crede che stiano seguendo fedelmente
Bush e Blair...
Ciao


Direi che i paesi che hanno appoggiato la guerra (Spagna Italia Inghilterra
paesi dell'est) hanno le opinioni pubbliche più contrarie a questa...
Addirittura in Spagna ho letto che il 90% della popolazione era contrario
alla guerra

Dear George, 
I hate to wake you up from that dream you are having, the one in which
you are a superhero bringing democracy and freedom to underdeveloped,
oppressed countries. But you really need to check things out in one of
the countries you have recently bombed to freedom. Georgie, I am kind
of worried that things are going a bit bad in Iraq and you don't seem
to care that much. You might want it to appear as if things are going
well and sign Iraq off as a job well done, but I am afraid this is not
the case.
Listen, habibi, it is not over yet. Let me explain this in simple
terms. You have spilled a glass full of tomato juice on an already
dirty carpet and now you have to clean up the whole room. Not all of
the mess is your fault but you volunteered to clean it up. I bet if
someone had explained it to you like that you would have been less
hasty going on our Rambo-in-Baghdad trip.
To tell you the truth, I am glad that someone is doing the cleaning
up, and thank you for getting rid of that scary guy with the hideous
moustache that we had for president. But I have to say that the
advertisements you were dropping from your B52s before the bombs fell
promised a much more efficient and speedy service. We are a bit
disappointed. So would you please, pretty please, with sugar on top,
get your act together and stop telling people you have Iraq all
figured out when you are giving us the trial-and-error approach?
Anyway, I hope this doesn't disturb you too much. Have a nice stay in
London, wave hello to the demonstrators, and give my regards to your
spin doctors. I bet they are having a hell of a job making you look
good.
Regards,

Dear George, 
I would like to welcome you to our country. Both as a person and a
president, you are a nice guy, and it is a good idea for both yourself
and the people of England that you have taken the time to come over to
visit our country. I am a self-employed person, and have been getting
quite a lot of free advertising from your being in the public light
for many years now. I would like to thank you for that. Only the other
day I heard someone say on the radio: "George Bush, he's doing a guvvy
[Newcastle slang, meaning a little job for oneself] job. I've just
seen him parked outside the house!" I would have voted for you,
George. I think your father was nice as well, when he was president
about 10 years ago. Although my family and friends vary a little in
their opinion, I think you are the right man for the job.

Dear George, 
I would just like to say how much I hate you. You have done nothing
positive in your whole time as president. You are the reason for the
poverty in the Middle East. You have no idea what you are doing.
You're killing loads of people, and that is not excluding your own
nation too. There are still lots of very poor people in America, and
they are getting poorer.
You keep making excuses about Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden, but
all you were in Iraq for was the oil. Saddam had been there for 30
years, so why is it only now you decided to act? You keep talking
about September 11 when all you do is bomb other countries and give
Israel lots of money. It is a very bad idea that you have come over
here.
I don't want to grow up in a country which is so influenced by you and
your policies.

Dear President Bush,
If you should - by some security mistake - catch a glimpse of the
enormous demonstrations expected during your visit, do not
underestimate their meaning. This is not old Europe anti-Americanism.
We are by no means an anti-American nation. Apart from the left fringe
and the mohican fringe, we are broadly pro-American and always have
been. No, this is personal. This is about you and your
neo-conservative monsters who have illegitimately captured the White
House with cash and hanging chads.
Tony Blair has made a catastrophic error in allying himself to you,
when he could have built a social democratic alternative vision of
western democracy with our European allies. Go now, don't come back,
be a one-term aberration the world can forget as soon as possible.

Dear President Bush,
You will be greeted by vast numbers of protesters who think the
invasion of Iraq was a crime, and by others who think it was not so
much a crime as a mistake - badly planned, and initiated with no idea
of what the US was getting into. I wish more of the protesters were
there to remind you of your atrocious record as governor of Texas,
when you upheld death sentences passed by corrupt and biased courts on
illiterate, incompetent and all-toofrequently innocent defendants.
Many of the protesters think you are a mass murderer; you certainly
have form as a serial killer.

Dear Mr Bush (I'd say President Bush if you had actually been
elected),
I've been asked to give advice to you on touching down in Britain. It
is this. Go home. You aren't wanted here. You aren't wanted anywhere
else either, but you may have been misunderinformed that Britain was
the one place where you would be welcomified. Wrong. Well, presumably
your best pal Tony welcomes you. But that's about it. Your motorcades,
your helicopters, your triggerhappy guards will try to protect you
from the people of Britain, who would otherwise spoil the photo-ops
for the folks back home. But be in no doubt. We despise you here too.
After you and Jeb stole the election (by a margin smaller than the
number of folks you executed in Texas) you were rightly written off as
a one-term president: a fair advertisement for Drunks For Jesus but
otherwise an idle nonentity; inarticulate, unintelligent, an ignorant
hick. September 11 changed all that. Not that you covered yourself
with glory that day. You are said to admire Churchill. Can you imagine
Churchill, at such a moment, panicking all around the country from
airbase to airbase? Even nasty old Rummy bunkered down where he
belonged.
Never mind, your puppeteers from the Project for the New American
Century recognised the opportunity they had been waiting for.
September 11 was your golden Pearl Harbor. This was how you'd get
elected in 2004 (not re-elected, elected). You would announce a War on
Terror. American troops would win. And you would be the victorious
warlord, swaggering in a flight suit before a Mission Accomplished
banner.
It worked in Afghanistan. But then those puppeteers moved on to their
long-term project: Iraq. Never mind that you had to lie about weapons
of mass destruction. Never mind that Iraq had not the smallest
connection with 9/11. The good folks back home would never know the
difference between Saddam and Osama. You would ride the paranoid
patriotism aroused by 9/11 all the way into Iraq, and hand out oil and
reconstruction contracts to Dick Cheney's boys. That escapade is now
backfiring horribly, as many of us said it would. No wonder young
American travellers are sewing Canadian flags to their rucksacks. What
we in Britain won't forgive is that you have dragged us down too. Go
home.
