Bushism of the Week

"The relations with, uhh — Europe are important relations, and they've, uhh — because, we do share values. And, they're universal values, they're not American values or, you know — European values, they're universal values. And those values — uhh — being universal, ought to be applied everywhere."

—George W. Bush, at a press conference with European Union dignitaries, Washington, D.C., June 20, 2005

Dear Mr. President:

I live in Belgium, and we think you suck. We don't believe in torture, denying basic human rights to people on the basis of sexual orientation, detaining people indefinitely without charges, or believe we have the right to execute people. What exactly are those common values again?

Thanks to you, Americans abroad have to pretend they are Canadians so people don't spit in our coffee.

So I have a question for sothis: Ahm, how easy is it to immigrate to a place like Belgium? We've been discussing possible places to 'escape' to. Of course, I'm not sure we could handle living in a nation where economic prosperity doesn't depend on war. Or, maybe I'm just making assumptions here. Maybe Belgium's in a constant economic depression because they don't manufacture weapons, fighter jets and bombs to export to others in order to prosper?
