An open letter to George W. Bush

Dear President Bush,

You completely suck. You are so clumsy that there is probably collateral damage when you take a shower. I bet every time George Bush steps into the shower a baby dies in Iraq. But you needed to be clean and cleanliness is on the march so that baby had to die because in order for that baby to die in a free world you had to "not quit taking showers." Your hands are so bloody I wish I could curse you like Tenskwa-Tawa cursed the settlers that slaughtered the indians in Orson Card's "Red Prophet." Whenever a participant of the massacre met a new person their hands would bleed until they explained to their new acquaintance why such a curse was placed upon them. In a way that is your curse. You are going to spend the rest of your life traveling around this country talking about your failure in Iraq. Unfortunately, knowing you, instead of apologizing you will waste our time trying to justify your actions. That will be yours and our shame.

As I watch Iraq collapse I sometimes wish I could enjoy your complete failure, but I can't. Too many American fighting men and Iraqi people have already perished due to your incompetence and it looks like it's only going to get worse. And as things are getting worse I can only sit back and watch you stumble through another press conference and display to the whole world that you have no idea what you are doing.

Maybe now your father can pull your worthless ass out of the fire. I only hope for the sake of our country and the world the he does.

Up yours,

Ed McDonald
