Dear George,
When confronted with an insoluble problem, the great leader creates an entirely new problem to divert public attention from the old one, which is what you are doing with Iran. It is comforting to see that both democratic and Republican presidential candidates are making Iran more of an issue than Iraq. Once again, the democrats are letting your minions frame the issue.
They never learn.
An intelligent and effective democratic response would have been to ask why in the hell you are planning a second war when you cannot even win the first one. They won’t, because it might give the perception that they are soft on something, and God knows, they don’t dare be soft on anything.
American’s know this is all about the oil. This is why opposition to your misadventures has been so tepid. The public values its energy consumption more than it values either peace or freedom. This is because the automobile and the thermostat have become America’s ultimate expressions of liberty. So we kill our soldiers that we may cling to our last remaining freedoms: comfort and mobility
The fact that Iraq is such a mess gives you a first-rate argument for attacking Iran by selling Iran as a martial Mulligan. You topped the ball when you swung at Iraq; now you want to tee up again and drive Iran straight down the fairway. Just as an alcoholic cures a hangover with another drink, so will the public be receptive to erasing our humiliation in Iraq with a freshly minted war with its promise of future honor and glory.
As always, a compliant press and your rabid media hacks continue to shill your contorted policies. They breathlessly promulgate every utterance you and the Big Dick utter, be it your prophecy of a third world war or the Big Dick allusion to “serious consequences.” (God, I love the Big Dick. For a headcase, he sounds remarkably sane.)
At the end of the day, your madness is succeeding because your cronies, Congress, and the media have turned the Beltway into an alien enclave that bears no resemblance to the rest of America.
Your admirer
