If "This Is Not Who We Are," Who Are You Then?

....

The US president had said in a prior press conference that he was "deeply offended," and that "this is not who we are." Who are you then, Mr. Bush?

Starving a nation for over 15 years, is that who you are? Bombing innocent people because of one man�s actions, is that who you are?

You, too, kill innocent people for selfish reasons. Al-Qaeda in Arabic means, "Base." How many bases do you have around the world?

How many people do you train and pay to bomb and torture innocent people?

If "This Is Not Who We Are," Who Are You Then? ....

1. Rob Cordry on "The Daily Show" said it best...

...when he was mocking Bush's words:

"Just because it's something we've done, doesn't mean it's something we would do."

2. "Un American"

Does this dolt really believe the speeches that are written for him?

He says that these events are "Un American". Uh... did non-Americans set up the policies of "abuse" and torture and carry them out?

3. In the immortal words of Forrest Gump ...

... America is as America does.

America is the sum of all its deeds, some of which are "abhorrent" and shameful. Until we face up to our history and who we really are, we will never make the necessary changes towards becoming who we would like to think we are.
