Hello Saddam,

Someone who alleged that he has been the victim of smear campaigns and
bad press, like yourself, should know better.  Such remarks about the
good ole U.S. of A. are usually the hallmark of someone trying to
"revise history."  During the last century, we Americans were constant
victims of circumstance and were also almost willfully misunderstood.
If we tried to mind our own business, like during the first half of
WWII, we were labelled "isolationists who were abandoning our former
allies."  However, if we tried to solve a regional problem before it
got out of hand, such as in Korea or Vietnam, we were called
warmongers.  I tell you, sometimes it seems we just cannot win.

 SI> Actually, they have already done so... twice.

Circumstances.  Don't confuse knowing a few facts with knowing the
"truth" about events.

Besides, we haven't done that sort of thing for over five decades.
Some people just won't let us live down a couple questionable acts
which seemed like really good ideas at the time.

It's all a moot point, anyhow, because we certainly wouldn't use those
particular weapons again.  Our PR folks tell us that they have become
visual cliches, mainly due to overuse by Hollywood and the television
media.  If ever CNN showed some footage of the distinctive mushroom
cloud, people would probably switch channels because they thought it
was only an advert for yet another movie.

Of course, the real reason the world should not worry about us is that
we are basically a peace loving people.  While it's unfortunate that
helping to keep the world a safe place for peace has meant that we
needed to wage war in a few other countries, everything comes with
it's price.  So, trust us.

So, let me reiterate the citizens of the U.S. of A. are peace loving.
Of course, in our role as The World's Policeman, we may occasionally
wage limited war in order to keep the peace.  Still, there are no
worries about any weapons of mass destruction that we may not have
converted to plough shares, just yet, because such weapons are just
not effective when seen as video clips on the TV news.  This last part
is most important because of the symbiotic relationship between the
news media and politicians...


I just wish we could do something about being misunderstood.  Why our
track record of relationships is almost as bad as Jenny Lopez's
marital track record.  Just look at all our former allies who were
quite happy to let the U.S, of A. improve their country buy building
naval and/or air bases but then eventually decided to spurn us.  The
list includes the Philippines, France, Spain and keeps growing.  Then,
there are folks like the Taliban who we supported against invaders
from the former U.S.S.R., but who then turned against us. Why, we even
quietly supported Iraq in your ten-year war against Iran...

So, here America sits, taking on the thankless job of being The
World's Policeman with not only no thanks but also no understanding or
sympathy from many of those we are trying to help.  It's just not
easy, but hey, a country has to do what a country has to do!


God Bless the American Way.
