WASHINGTON (Creators Syndicate) -- In what the White House promoted as "a major speech," President George W. Bush compared the struggle against terrorism to the Cold War, "Islamo-fascism" to communism and the fugitive cave-dweller Osama bin Laden to Adolf Hitler.
A somber Bush reminded his listeners that this "war will require more sacrifice, more time, more resolve" and that "the defense of freedom is worth sacrifice."
Then, the president, whose poll scores on being "honest and straightforward" are dropping as fast as his favorable job-ratings, showed once more how little he really trusted and how little he really thought of us, his fellow citizens. He again failed to ask of us civilians any sacrifice at all, no matter how minor, in behalf of our country.
Does the president think we are too selfish, too pampered, too unpatriotic to accept any personal inconvenience for the common good? |
