Topsy-Turvy World

Let me see if I've got this straight. After almost 6 years of government sponsored propaganda, you would think it would be easy by now. Muslims hate us for our freedoms. But wait, if that were true, why are thousands of Turks marching in the streets to protest the election of a president they deem to have pro-islamist tendencies? Why, in the country where the founding fathers actually included the separation of church and state in our Constitution, are all of the Republican candidates for our presidency somewhere to the right of the Taliban when it comes to catering to the religious community?
Speaking of the Taliban, they may be a bad bunch, "Killers and Terrists(sic)" according to Mr. Bush, but they sure knew how to stop the flow of heroin from their country. It's almost like they cared about doing the right thing. Most producer countries turn a blind eye to narco-trafficking as long as the drugs go else where and the money remains. Unfortunately, while we have been in charge the heroin production has exploded to pre-Taliban levels.
Further evidence of topsey-turvyism, is Vice-President Cheney lecturing President Maliki on sharing power with minority parties in government, reforming oil laws to share the income equally, and making his government more open and honest. Hey Pot, quit calling the Kettle black. If Cheney had tried any of those options here in this country, we wouldn't all hate him so much.
