The American fuhrer has again reminded the rest of the world that if you are not with us you are against us.
In this piece for the BBC, “‘No neutrality’, warns Bush”. In this same speech Bush promises payoffs to countries who join his ‘coalition’. This is how they get things done with the carrot and the stick. On the one hand, he makes the veiled suggestion that you do what we say or you are with the terrorists and then he offers bribes to governments who cooperate. I need to dust off my Machiavelli so I can keep up with these snakes.
“The US encourages and expects governments everywhere to help remove the terrorist parasites that threaten their own countries and the peace of the world,” he said.
“If governments need training or resources America will help.”
