We're supposed to believe that the U.S. decided on a whim to frame an obscure, leftwing pissant member of parliament by planting forged documents in a bombed-out building in Baghdad and arranged for them to be found by a foreign journalist. Simultaneously, US agents broke into the UN and placed several boxes of forged documents that tied MP Galloway to Kofi Annan and Saddam Hussein, showing that Galloway received Iraqi oil vouchers worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. We're also to believe that Galloway's luxury villa in Portugal was purchased with money that he saved selling Ginsu steak knives on a streetcorner in London.
I'm sure no one knew who he even was. I didn't until May 5 when he won a seat in England by a bunch of voting rag heads.
But go from here to the Yahoo Forum I was at. Believe it or not in that world, Arafat deserved a state funeral, the Palestinians have never done anything to America, and Galloway is some hero slaying the evil American Congress which should be charged with war crimes.
I am not an American. But from the moment I became politically aware I could never comprehend the lack of self respect and the depth of navel gazing that would cause non-Americas to so despise America. No doubt, America is not perfect and hasn't always made the best decisions. No nation has. Yet America is held up against a standard 10 times that of any other nation. My wife came from Colorado and lives with me here in Canada. I can tell you most Canadians have no class. Numerous people my wife came in contact with slammed America in front of her, knowing she was an American. If I lived in the US as a Canadian I would expect to be treated with some class. In front of me I would prefer Americans not to bash my heritage, unless I indicated that I agreed with their assessment. In conclusion, maybe the rest of the Western World just lacks class?
