In a wide-ranging interview, Bush:
· Defended the existence of Guantánamo Bay where many of those caught up in the US “war on terror” are held, and claimed that the US was a defender of human rights.
· Insisted the US still occupied the moral high ground worldwide.
· Stood by his decision to remove Saddam Hussein and claimed he would be vindicated as long as the US did not leave Iraq prematurely.
· Said he would attend the Beijing Olympics and that he had regular contact with the Chinese president, Hu Jintao, to urge him to do more on the issue of the genocide in the Sudanese province of Darfur.
Seriously people, you have to give this guy some respect. He didn’t even laugh.
We are all privileged to live in this time. In the future, politics and history students will assess this period and try and understand what the hell we were doing letting this absolute shower of shit lead us (and note this shower fully encompasses the current & recent British cabinets).
You will be able to tell your kids and grandkids that you voted for Blair/Bush. That you voted in a government that completely ruined the West’s political and economic dominance. And that you weren’t even pissed. You are truly privileged.

What makes you think that the inhabitants of the future will have recovered the sound moral compass which the Bush/Blair generation have so thoroughly jettisoned? Maybe they will be moral pigmies compared to our ‘God-guided’ Dubya and Tone.
