President Bush

President Bush’s speech was nothing but a blank cheque, giving reasons for attacking Iraq but giving no evidence backing his reasons. What angers me the most is the point made by him: Saddam is a threat to America, and therefore we must attack him. There are many countries around the world who’s neighbours are rogue states and who should have been included in Bush’s axis of evil list. America asks these troubled nations to refrain from attacking and to diplomatically resolve bi-lateral problems. What America preaches is the opposite to what it does. It wants to bomb Iraq without any evidence and without any backing from the UN. The thought of going to war with Iraq without the support of the Security Council shows how single minded America is. The UN was set up to resolve issues together and disregarding the UN would bring the world to chaos with no way of keeping tabs on countries that could attack anyone, anytime, anywhere. Sure, attack if you have evidence, but don’t stop at Iraq, make sure terrorism is wiped out from all rogue states, including the one’s that were not publicly declared as rogue states.

Bush thinks he’s a cool dude,
He’s really after all the world’s crude,
He doesn’t really care about people,
He’s after his precious, just like Gollum alias Smeagol.

His band of brothers and sisters, Powell, Rumsfeld, Cheney and Rice
Have made there minds up about what to do.
They think they are just and right
But hey we all know they are all capitalist fools.

And why does Mr. Blair have to join the bandwagon?
Surely he can speak for his own nation.
Iraq was no threat to Britain, until Blair joined in lighting the war beacon
Maybe the wagon was hopped on because around 50% of investment in UK is American.

It’s not like Mr. Blair is bored and there is nothing at home to do,
Loads of things to deal with,
Fire fighters, the underground and student fees,
I hope you make your decisions, Mr Blair, wisely.
