WHY LIBERAL EURO-WEENIES HATE GEORGE BUSH


President Bush will be facing demonstrators in England today. No big
news. American presidents face demonstrations everywhere they go ..
.even in this country.

I think, though, I have a bit of a handle on why so many Europeans
literally hate George Bush. I can explain it with this scenario:

You're walking down the street when you notice a house on fire. The
flames are just beginning to lick at some windows. From inside that
house you hear screams. A mother is pleading for someone to come help
her look for her babies.

You're frozen with fear out there on that sidewalk. You know there
are children in that house, and you know the mother is in there trying
to save them. You know they may all die, but you can't move out of
your tracks on that sidewalk. You're afraid. After all, what if you
get burned trying to save those people? What if you die? Maybe the
flames will die out on their own? You're perfectly willing to stand
in the yard with a garden hose trying to contain the flames .. but
actually going in there? No way!

While you're standing there doing nothing, here comes this swaggering
American in a cowboy hat. A damned Texan. The Texan sees the fire,
hears the screams for help, throws down his hat and runs into the
house. Minutes later he emerges with the woman and her children.
They're safe.

What about you? You feel like a coward. That Texan has made you feel
small .. he took your manhood. He showed you for the coward that you
are in front of all of those people who were watching the spectacle.
Those people know that they were more like you than like the Texan;
after all, they stood by you in doing nothing. God, you hate him so.
You hate him because he displayed the courage you only wish you had.
Oh, you're glad he rescued that woman and her children; but why
couldn't it have been you?

Suck it up, Europe. It's not like this is the first time Americans
have had to do the job you should have done in the first place, and it
probably won't be the last.

That about sums it up.
