Toronto Star har en bra artikel om hur Bush-regeringen är helt oförmögen att
exportera hopp
Här ett axplock:
Because these folks have no clue on how to export hope.
They would never think of saying: "Let's close this prison immediately and reopen it in a month as the Abu Ghraib Technical College for Computer Training — with all the equipment donated by Dell, H.P. and Microsoft."
Why didn't the administration ever use 9/11 as a spur to launch a Manhattan project for energy independence and conservation, so we could break out of our addiction to crude oil, slowly disengage from this region and speak truth to fundamentalist regimes, such as Saudi Arabia?
Because that might have required a gas tax or a confrontation with the administration's oil moneymen.
Why did the administration always — rightly — bash Yasser Arafat, but never lift a finger or utter a word to stop Ariel Sharon's massive building of illegal settlements in the West Bank?
Because while that might have earned America credibility in the Middle East, it might have cost the Bush campaign Jewish votes in Florida.
