"This is bulls**t."

While in Israel today celebrating that country's 60th birthday, President Bush took a sharp blow against the democrats by comparing to Democrats wanting to "appease" with Iran to the way people in Europe let Hitler come to power. Joe Biden, the Senator from Delaware, simply responded to Bush's remarks by saying; "This is bulls**t." Obviously the President is willing to compare anyone that is open to having talks with some of our enemies, to Nazis, and that's simply put.

You know those simple proverbs that you tend to hear and you feel as if everyone on planet Earth has heard them at least once in their lives. Well, I thought that "Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer" was one of those. Apparently, the leader of the free world still is ignorant to that fact even though he is the engineer of one of America's greatest military mistakes, the war in Iraq.

President Bush at this point is simply out of touch with world issues at this point in time and needs to adapt to the modern world. We can no longer just simply ignore countries we don't particularly like and expect that to solve all of our problems. After all, aren't we the country with the world's greatest military and democracy? If we are, we should definitely start acting like one and stop hiding from our enemies.

To make this into an analogy, imagine this, the world is a high school, America is the captain of the football team and the strongest kid in the school. If a problem arises with another student, America wouldn't be the one to go hide and avoid the other student, the other, weaker, student would be the one hiding. America would have the guts to go talk to that school since it has nothing to be afraid of and convince them to act appropriately.

President Bush kinda understands this but apparently not enough because instead of convincing weaker countries he just largely ignores them, and when the problem really becomes something serious, he just beats them up (Iraq.) So, it's time that we realize our powers and abilities and not just use our muscle, but also our brains. Obviously, President Bush doesn't realize that the silent treatment is only effective in insignificant social matters and does not work on a global scale.
