Gerson- Ideological Apologist and Whore

Gerson,

Like your ideological doppleganger, Krautcrazy, you spin Fairy Tales.

Your efforts to mislead reflects all that is rotten in the insular rose coloured world inhabited by Bush apologists. Yet another example of Republican Neo-Exceptionalism that refuses to see how its efforts to project unilateral power is viewed by the rest of the world. As willful arrogance and blind ignorance at its best.

Around the world the meaning of the "Bush Doctrine" is not in doubt. Moreover, to we outside the US your characterization of its import rings false. We are under no illusions. We know that at its core the Bush Doctrine represents a profound threat to Global stability.

As M.G. Manthro pointed out in "The Bush Doctrine: Origins, Evolutions, Alternatives" (April 2004), there is a finite way to understand the 'doctrine' and it reflects a commitment on the part of the administration to misuse and abuse its foreign policy tools. As for your assertion that aid to Africa constitutes a pillar of this doctrine- well, you can wrap that in a used condom. Humanitarian aid is a noble goal - but nobody believes it is an important facet of the Bush Doctrine.

Like your demented twin, Krautcrazy, you apparently take pride in believing you have played a central role in the formulation of this flawed theory. Yet, one gets the sense that you, like Krautcrazy, are little more than petty cogs in the Cheer-leading Cabal of 'hangers-on' who gleefully and non-critically tied their fortunes to an insecure leader.

In another time, another place, amid those advancing another flawed doctrine (Lebensraum) you would be just a poor man's Propaganda Minister, a blathering Goebbles, blindly signing on to and leading the band of true believers in its sad sorry tune. But this is not another time, another place, and such makes you all the much sadder. Further, it's clear you were/are relatively insignificant to the realpolitik results of the last eight failed years of American foreign policy.

You can try to dress up the connotative definition of the Bush Doctrine anyway you like, but to the rest of the world its dangers are clear. The concept of a Bush Doctrine and its nascent roots had been established long before you and Krautcrazy stumbled across the terminology. At best the role played by your ilk is that of minor scribes among the inks of greater pens.

Make no mistake, none of us, be we Arab, be we Mexican, or like myself, be we Canadian - none of us ever mistake the 'Bush Dick-trine' for anything other than what it is - President G.W. Bush's foreign policy operating principle of unilateralism married to the concept of military preemption.

If you wish, dress it up, give it make-up, try to pass it off in its historical context as something more than what it really is: "But a whore is still a whore."

The world knows what is meant by the Bush Doctrine. Don't try to tell us otherwise...

Here in Canada, we have no oillusions [oops! meant illusions] about its import. The fact you now try to obsfucate its true meaning for strictly partisan purposes just perpetuates the false myth of the "Ugly American".

Given so many of your fellow citizens (yes, even some Republicans) are trying to conduct themselves with dignity this season in an effort to debate the 'real issues' would it be too much if I asked you, as I have asked Krautcrazy, to put down your florid-yet-foul crayons?

Next time you pick up a pen, try to write like a man. You know, with honesty?
Failing that, like Krautcrazy, your disquieting adolescent insecurity will remain on display: forever disturbing to one and all.
