Modern day crusades

My husband is channel surfing trying to find something to lull his brain to sleep, and has settled on the news. I am horrified to hear Condi Rice spouting forth some of the the MOST ARROGANT SHIT I have ever heard in my life. "WE want a this kind of Middle east. WE have a vision of this in the Middle East. Our Allies (What... all two of them?) and We feel that this is the future of the middle east, and it scares them..." You may notice that since the escalation in Israel, there are few standing by our side. Everyone seem to want the killing in Lebanon to stop... everyone but the war mongers in the American White House. Our list of friends is suddenly very short.
I digress. Since when it idid become OUR Middle East to impose any of our anything on? What an arrogant attitude. Sure, it's a global community, and we can have an opinion, and I certainly think that we should stand up and say something about what is going on... so far what we have said is dead on balls WRONG (P.S.- Israel, Please stop bombing the shit out of your neighbors. You're scaring the world.)
But Getting on the news and just putting it out there that "we" have a vision for the next generation for that area of the world, and the will to impose it seems some how wrong, and a sure fire way to make sure my kids have a fresh supply of enemies at the gates when it comes their time. Thanks, ever so, you arrogant whore. I happen to be one of the "WE" you supposedly represent, and I sure didn't vote for you. (I didn't vote for that babbling chimp in the white house either, but a some people did. No one voted for you.) I don't much appreciate being clumped in with the likes of you and yours, so please, leave those kind of "WE" statements out of it. You ain't we.
It's people like you that put American lives in danger by doing nothing more than opening your silly stupid mouths and making people see us as overbearing pompous egotistical asses, who think we know what's best for everyone else,as if the rest of the world's populace needed to be tended like our children.
Even the Putin made fun of Bush today when he suggested that he model Russia's new democracy on the plan we gave Iraq. He Laughed at him in front of the Russian and world press, saying "I don't think so." Are we so assured that our way is the best way that we are going to go out and introduce it to the rest of the world no matter what they think? I am sure that Stalin and Hitler thought their ideas were a great idea too.
I love democracy, and I love my country.... I don't think it is a cause for a modern day crusade and it seems more and more that is what this administration is turning it into, and I for one have had enough. There are still a lot of people who look at the Stars and Stripes and see it as a symbols of freedom and liberation. There numbers are growing who see it as the hallmark of a bully. That is not what I want for my country. It's sure as hell not what I want my husband and his friends out there laying his ass on the line for. I really hope this can get turned around in some way- before we go from being the bully and joke we are now to something much worse.... A nation feared instead of respected.
