Now we all have heard it, loud and clear. George W. Bush – blessed be his name – in his address to the American people said that “we have received the message from way above the stars… that we are to spread freedom to our world”.

Did he mean from some superior being of an alien power? Starwars, Stargate? Or did he mean from Heaven, from God? Whose God? The Christian, the Muslims, the Jews and all the gods of Asia, except from the Buddhists because their religion does not include the concept of God? Or maybe his own God? Is he, perhaps, the new Messiah? Washington DC the new Vatican?

But he is an honourable man. Isn’t he?

To spread freedom? What kind of freedom? The American including junk food, coca cola, Hollywood and the three generals (General Motors, General Electric, Mr Rumsfield) bad English and Rambo mentality? And as far as people are to be freed – he sniffs out those whose lands are rich in oil.

Together with his followers like Cheney and others. They too are honourable men. Aren’t they?
