Open Letter to Mr. Bush

Thank you, Mr. Bush. Thank you for invading Iraq.
Thank you for getting my generation, supposedly the
most apathetic, politically uninvolved generation in
American history, motivated enough about your policies
to come out in the thousands against your
administration, along with tens of thousands of other
Americans. Thank you for paying lip service to the
demonstrations in this country and then ignoring any
grievance or question protestors might have. Thank you
for ignoring the millions of people in democratic
countries worldwide who protested an invasion of Iraq.
Thank you for lying about hard proof you had about the
connection between Al Qaeda and Saddam Hussein, which
the CIA considers farfetched. Thank you for lying, or
being misleading about the aluminum containers that
could never have been used for weapons of mass
destruction, according to the International Atomic
Energy Association. Thank you for making it clear that
you never had any intention of paying attention to the
recommendations of United Nations weapons inspectors.
Thank you for claiming you had proof that Saddam
Hussein was hiding and moving his chemical and
biological weapons before UN inspectors arrived, but
never sharing that information with the inspectors.
Thank you for dismissing the legitimate international
requests for hard proof of the clear and present
danger posed by Iraq. Thank you for bribing countries
such as Turkey into accepting United States troops
against the overwhelming public opinion there. Thank
you for your disregard of an international rule of
law, Thank you for invading Iraq.

Thank you for manipulating the tragedy of 9/11 for a
foreign policy goal that had been proposed by Deputy
Secretary of Defense Wolfowitz in the mid-1990s. Thank
you for spitting on the graves and families of the
9/11 victims. Thank you for invading Iraq.

Thank you for endorsing torture as a method of
interrogation. Thank you for shipping our
uncooperative suspects to nations with higher
thresholds for what constitutes torture. Thank you for
invading Iraq.

Thank you for a humanitarian effort in Afghanistan
that was, according to retired Green Berets who
oversaw it, a total failure. Thank you for not being
able to control any part of Afghanistan except Kabul.
Thank you for pulling our troops out of Afghanistan
and letting UN troops from France and Germany bear the
brunt of the stabilization effort. Thank you for
giving Afghanistan less than 1/3 of the aid you
promised them this year. Thank you for invading Iraq.

Thank you for not uttering the words, „Osama bin
Laden,‰ in nearly a year. Thank you for invading Iraq.

Thank you for being such a foreign policy disaster
that many people in the world now consider your
administration a greater threat to world peace and
security than Al Qaeda. Thank you for squandering all
the goodwill and genuine grief shown around the world
after 9/11. Thank you for invading Iraq.

Thank you for proposing the largest budget deficit in
history, within three years of a national surplus.
Thank you for a tax cut that, according to numerous
economists, worsened the already faltering economy.
Thank you for proposing that tax cut again. Thank you
for proposing to make that cut permanent. Thank you
for ensuring that it would only benefit, in any real
sense, the wealthiest people in the country. Thank you
for invading Iraq.

Thank you for using this war to bolster the economy
now that it is clear even consumer confidence cannot
hold it together anymore. Thank you for granting
Halliburton, the company for which your vice president
was CEO and stepped down to become your ticket
partner, the contract for stamping out any potential
fires set by Iraq. Thank you for invading Iraq.

Thank you for pulling out of the Kyoto Accords and the
ABM Treaty. Thank you for not allowing any access to
the vice president‚s records on his environmental
policy meetings. Thank you for trying to eliminate
Superfund environmentally protected sites Thank you
for proposing we drill in Alaska to reduce our
dependence on foreign oil. Thank you for invading
Iraq.

Thank you for making New York City in particular and
the nation in general more susceptible to terrorist
attacks through your actions. Thank you for arresting
hundreds of citizens and legal residents with no
communication with the outside world in undisclosed
locations for indefinite lengths of time to be tried
in closed courts. Thank you for the Department of
Homeland Security, an agency whose name would not be
an unfair translation of KGB. Thank you for invading
Iraq.

Thank you for putting Tony Blair in the most difficult
position for a politician. Thank you for causing the
resignation of Robin Cook, Thank you for causing the
resignation of many highly experienced American
diplomats. Thank you for causing people to feel sorry
for someone like Saddam Hussein. Thank you for
invading Iraq.

Thank you for being the most legally dubious president
in American history. Thank you for ignoring me. Thank
you for shredding the last, miniscule beliefs I had in
the possibility of American democracy. Thank you for
invading Iraq.

You fuck.

With all sincerity,

James Griffith
