I’m watching George Bush on TV, giving a speech. He says: “In my judgement, in my considered judgement, there is a real risk to our friends and allies in Iraq.”

What the hell are these people applauding? They’re an invited audience, so we can be certain they’re not from the Workers World Party and happy that there’s a risk to the friends and allies of the hegemon USA. I have to wonder whether they’re actually listening to what the guy is saying.
