[Taxacom] Alberta, Canada, has a Creation Museum

[Michael A. Ivie]

OUCH!  While I agree that Bush cannot leave too soon, I point out that 
no sensible person would ever give him advice to do as he has, so maybe 
this is an argument for the existence of God (or Satan), or maybe just a 
voice in his head....

What pains me, however, is that the EJ has now spilled this idiot's 
actions over to the idea that friendship with the US is itself a bad 
thing.  Bush is not the USA, he is an aberration (I hope).   Bush stole 
the first election, then used fear from 9/11 to get support for the 
second.  Do we (the USA) have to always have brilliant Presidents?  I 
can think of some PMs that were no bargain -- of course their navy was 
mostly in the West Edmonton Mall, so the world did not suffer for it. 
Surely the friendships of at least the UK, Canada and US go beyond one 
or two or three idiot leaders or even those that elected all 3 of them?  
I do not now, nor have I ever supported Bush's crazy, dangerous, immoral 
and just plain wrong policies, BUT I will always be grateful to the UK 
and Canada for backing us in Iraq and Afghanistan.  Perhaps the 
strongest expression of friendship is when you are drunk and stupid, and 
start a bar fight, and some friend who knows you are wrong stands with 
you to keep you from going down -- just because he is your friend.  The 
Australians call this True Blue.  Surely that is what Blair and the UK 
did for Bush and the US? He's such a nice young man, and doesn't look 
stupid at all..... 

Sad in Bozeman,

Mike
