Dear World:

Dear World:

We just want to let you know - America is NOT George Bush and his posse of outlaws! America does not hate you. We don't want to kill your sons and daughters. We don't want to kill our sons and daughters either. We are terrified that The Gang That Can't Shoot Straight is going to start World War III.

Maybe we haven't been perfect, but we want to get along with our neighbors. We don't believe in pre-emptive war, or shoving 'democracy' down anyone else's throat at the point of a gun. This crazy son-of-a-bitch does not represent the way the most of us feel. We are horrified. It feels as if we're passengers in a car driven by a drunken 9-year-old the wrong way down a one-way street.

We're afraid that this thug is going to destroy any chance for relationships with countries that were either our friends or at least countries that we could get along with. Every single day it gets crazier and crazier, and we can't seem to find a way to stop him yet.

But we're trying.

Most Americans - real Americans - see themselves as citizens of the world, not only our own country, and do not believe that total military domination is the only way to keep Americans safe. Believe it or not, the Christian religion is supposed to be one of peace and love for one's neighbors, or at least that's what Jesus said. I know that's not what Pat Robertson says, but he represents Christians the way George Bush represents Americans.

We don't want this war or any other war. We hope we can find a way to stop this madman and the greedy, lawless criminals that prop him up before he starts something that no one can stop.

So, dear World, please know that we're trying hard to avert more disaster, and that what you're seeing from Bush and Co is not the American way. We don't want to lose the soul of America and what it stands for.

sincerely,

the USA
