Just imagine…..
President Bush has a brain malfunction and suddenly declares “Hey boys, I’ve decided NOT to knock the **** out of Saddam but divert all the resources and money I would have used to sort out Ethiopia and try to prevent half of the 15 million folk out there from starving. And what's more I am going to do it properly and built up the infrastructure, root out corruption, develop proper educational and agricultural institutions and do my utmost to try and prevent widespread famine happening again. And I’m going to ask the Arabs to help me.”
Yes – I KNOW (underlined double bold) it’s just wishful thinking but just think about it for a moment. IF it worked Bush would actually save millions of lives and he would change from being an ogre in the eyes of much of the world into something close to a hero. There’s a good chance he would get some of the Arab states on his side and sideline Iraq in the process. And it would give Uncle Sam’s boys something better to do than blow up Iraqi kids. Of course someone would have to tell Bush where Ethiopia was ……. Sorry I’ll get my Burka…
