- So Bush finally apologizes-- probably kicking and screaming,
with threats from his best and brightest (what a joke-- that would be Rove,
Rice and Norquist) that it was apologize or be fired by the American Public...
as well as the rest of the planet who have already made up their minds.
Yes, there may be a collection of fifty or sixty million blue collar NASCAR
dads, fascist Christians, neo-nazis, racists, greedy pig rich people who
unpatriotically refuse to pay their fair share in taxes, and the corporate
traitors to humanity and the planet... no, also to life itself, who prefer
to support money over the environment, biodiversity and a world that is
human-philic-- ie., the supporters of Bush. But the rest of the USA and
certainly, the rest of the planet, outside of the corporatists and fascists
in other nations, consider George Bush, his verminous minions and cretinous,
despicable supporters pariahs.
-
- The dictionary defines a pariah as an untouchable. To
me, an untouchable by caste is a person who is unjustly treated as a person
to be totally avoided and to be accorded contempt. The untouchables in
India are born into their caste and it is not their fault.
-
- George Bush has grown into untouchable Pariah-hood. He
has taken on the mantle of a religious fraud, the rapist of a nation, the
despoiler of nations, the waster of billions, nay hundreds of billions
of dollars of resources and assets, the killer of tens of thousands. The
destroyer of thousands of homes.
-
- It is very likely, much because the population of the
planet has grown so much since the 1940s, when there were just over 2 billion
people on the planet, to now, when there are over 6.3 billion, that George
Bush is the most hated, most reviled man in the history of the planet.
-
- His fellow Christianists (if we call Muslims who are
fundamentalist and unable to function cooperatively in the world, treating
other faiths with respect Islamists, then lets call Christians who can't
respect other faiths Christianists,) craving early death through the end-times
when the anti-christ arrives, ushering in the return of the messiah, believe
he is moving them towards their life-rejecting path. But it is just as
arguable, perhaps even likely, if one chooses to dance with the "rapture"
story, that the ultimate evil anti-christ would masquerade as the great
leader who would take the faithful to their dreamed upon heavenly glory.
The ultimate antichrist would seem to be the good guy.
-
- So.... right now, about 50 million Americans think Bush
is the good guy. Maybe another 100 million Brits, Germans, Poles, Australians,
Italians, Kurds, Iranians, Saudi princes and Japanese, hey, maybe even
500 million more have enough financial or political interests to also support
Bush. I don't think most of those 500 see him as a good guy. They see him
as a venal scoundrel who will sell out his country in ways that support
their interests.
-
- That leaves about 5.8 billion people on this planet.
The world Muslim population is close to 1.5 billion. Assume 97% of them
hate Bush. The sane citizens of the rest of the planet have to see Bush
and his supporters as venal, dangerous predators and leeches, fanatic religious
zealot fools or duped fools.
-
- Even NY Times centrist pundit Thomas Friedman says, "I
have never known a time in my life when America and its president were
more hated around the world than today. I was just in Japan, and even young
Japanese dislike us. It's no wonder that so many Americans are obsessed
with the finale of the sitcom "Friends" right now. They're the
only friends we have, and even they're leaving."
-
- This article started as a speculation on what it took
to get an apology out of Bush, a man who operates through blaming the weak,
protecting the powerful guilty parties because anyone who fails under him
also knows enough about what a colossal incompetent he is so that they
would be able to contribute to his collapse and destruction if they were
not allowed to stay on-- like Tenet, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Cheney, Libby....
-
- It is tragic that such a small majority of active American
voters have been able to create such a vile, reprehensible untouchable
who most certainly is the most hated, most loathed man in the history of
the world. I wonder how Hitler's supporters felt when he was the most hated
man. Did they realize they were supporting a monster? Were they proud to
be contributing to his power? What about after Hitler fell, or Mussolini,
or Idi Amin? Did their supporters realize what they'd helped to create?
Did they stay loyal to their monsters? Did they see the light and experience
regret? George is not the first ugly, planetary monster to be created.
We should learn from his and his predecessors. Like dinosaur researchers,
paleontologists, who study dinosaur shit, we should be studying the destroyed
industries, the fraudulently justified actions and causes, the ecological
disasters and the lies built upon lies and more lies that enabled Bush
and his malignant predecessors to attain power. That way, at least we can
begin to understand what enables a tiny fraction of the people on this
planet to insanely ejaculate such loathsome creatures into such positions
of destructive power upon our planet.

- Dear Mr. Kall,
-
- Thank you so much for this piece. Yes indeed, Bush is
the most hated man in the world. Hated more than Adolph Hitler was hated
in his time. You remember him, do you not? He's the guy that murdered so
many innocent men, women and children. He's the German "leader"
who thought that his own was the master race. The man who believed that
"slow" people needed to die in order to make the world a better
place for the rest.
-
- And, of course, let's not forget those few Palestinian
terrorists who shot a pregnant Mom and her two beautiful little girls in
Israel.
-
- We cannot forget terrorists. Whilst they also murder
innocents with bombs strapped around their bodies, bombs with shrapnel
and mangling materials, bombs "meant" to kill innocents, they
are righteous in their cause. Are they not?
-
- Gosh, there are so many to hate. And you chose Bush.
Good for you.
-
- The real issue here is not what you said but the word
you used. A word which I personally abhor. The word is "hate!"
It's the word which divides the world. Hatred divides nations, peoples,
it divides the good from the bad. The good refuse to knuckle under when
that word is used. The bad use _and_ practice hatred with a passion. Like
you, Sir.
-
- Concluding:
-
- People who use and practice that word generally die by
it. And die by it taking inocent lives with them. Better Dead than Red.
Remember that phrase? Better dead than MohamED. That's new one. Better
Dem than Conservative. Another one. Hate. Hatred. It even sounds malignant
because it is malignant.
-
- Better look behind you, pal. People like you don't last
long. They usually wind up in a bunker committing suicide.
-
- Me? I'll die the way I was born. Being hated. Hey, it's
not like I'm alone in this, right?

- I find the hatred for Bush to be an overblown symptom
of western cultures too far removed from the horrors of real dictators
and fascists worthy of such a sentiment as "hated." Sure, George
W. is a horrible human being and I detest what he's done and I consider
the invasion of Iraq to be utterly immoral, but there have been far, far
worse leaders in history. Bush is a flash in the pan. Nothing more. This
time will likely go down as the most ridiculously overdramatized of them
all - and I lay the blame at the feet of a bored, spoiled Media, worldwide.
Comparing Bush with Hitler is so damned ridiculous. Laughable. Absurd.
I can't stand the man, and I think he's utterly corrupt... but I can think
of a lot of people more deserving of hatred than him, much less the title
"most hated man in history." That's just freaking stupid!
