Bush on Diplomacy…don’t be a bully!

I took this quote from a recent BBC article about developments in the Russia/Georgia conflict.

President Bush has accused Russia of “bullying and intimidation”, saying it was an unacceptable “way to conduct foreign policy in the 21st Century”.

I don’t know enough about the nature of the conflict to take a side yet, and perhaps even if I did there would be no side to take. Yet, it seems as history reveals itself, our government usually sides with the country that benefits us the most at whatever expense to human life or suffering. And the nonsense is furthered as it “trickles” down to the middle and lower class through biased and well funded, middle school journalism. I hope our next president doesn’t assume every child was “left behind.” Perhaps Bush himself, in light of his own bad theology, should be in fear of being Left Behind.

Really, unacceptable? Woe to those who have eyes but do not see, have ears yet do not hear. And woe to those who condemn the very acts they promoted by being the prime example. Of these I am the worst I admit. God, please let the ironies of the world shake us from our slumber.
