Good riddance George Bush. Your reign of terror may be ended, but the effect of your evildoing will last as it shapes your legacy into polite terms as a history lesson that will be incorporated into my children’s adult lives and into what was supposed to be my retirement. Your legacy will be fear.
The America you are leaving behind contains a terrified shivering mass of people who are so afraid to spend whatever money they do have that our economy is actually teetering on the brink of Great Depression 2.0.
A country filled with citizens so frightened that they have agreed to be publicly searched before they get on an airplane or enter a County Courthouse - a people so terrified that they allowed their Government to order the torture of fellow human beings and so fearful that they allowed fundamental aspects of their judicial system to be violated when there were clear absolute directives preventing that very action by our founding fathers.
A Government so terrified of further job losses that they are throwing bailout money at every company that asks for it when we all know it represents a tax burden that our children’s children will be paying long after these specific saved jobs are a moot point.
George Bush will never feel the intrusive hand of a pat-down security search or a cold chill of fear when he looks at his checkbook or credit card balance, but I have a feeling that he may have a fear of his own.
In the next few years there will be an unprecedented powerful international effort to try George Bush and Dick Cheney for war crimes.
I hope by then America has overcome its national petrifaction and has the courage to do the morally right thing when the extradition requests are made.
