George Bush: Superhero

I don't know if anyone has realized this but last year former President George W. Bush performed some feats of superhero caliber. When he heard about the domestic terrorist attacks at Fort Hood he immediately got into his BatCopter and flew down to Killeen. There he disabled and paralyzed the Islamo-Psychiatrist Terrorist. He grabbed the fallen soldiers and though it was in a hospital with plenty of stretchers he carried each to a hospital room over his shoulder, after checking with triage first of course. Then he proceeded to give the appropriate medical response, and after all had been stabilized he comforted those who were still conscious with his wit and good humor.

I respect George W. Bush and I think he is a good person. I am a humorist and sometimes I deal with serious issues in the only way I can: by hyperbole, by jest, or even just by rambling musings. But I just have to wonder if on his way home after acting like a true hero, former President Bush wondered if his decision to invade Iraq might have had some sort of causal relationship with the tragedy in Central Texas. This isn't a Republican vs. Democrat thing, because it is our nation's policy, not one half or the other. Do we need our foreign policy to be carried out with a big stick, because in this world we have the biggest. It is true that we cannot let our country be attacked. And we should not diminish our freedoms merely to feel safe. This is a difficult issue and we've been living with this consciousness for almost a decade. Our country's highest minds have been considering ramifications, contingencies, and all sorts of planning. We as a nation speak of peace and freedom, but the rest of the world only hears the sonic booms of our fighter jets and the explosions of our bombs.
