America - the good guys?

We are the good guys.

At least, we used to be the good guys.

Good guys don't do the things that bad guys do: torturing people, starting wars, ignoring habeas corpus, kidnapping people and delivering them to really bad guys who happen to be our temporary friends (aka extraordinary rendition) etc.

Good guys sometimes suffer in the short term but the world is on their side. In the long term, being the good guys pays off but it requires patience and consideration for others.

And the French find it a lot harder to be obstructionists!

Unfortunately [King] George [Worthless] Bush XLIII and his sidekick Vice President Cheney have little patience and a surfeit of arrogance. As a result they have taken the easy path and we have become the bad guys.

Whatever happened to President Ronald Reagan's 'shining city on a hill'?

It is hard to imagine that our next President - even the appalling Senator Clinton - could be worse.
