Though maybe one of his speechwriters is British. Last week, Bush made a speech chiding the world community for not taking action on Iraq, his current obsession. Not a problem, everyone's pretty much aware of his feelings on the matter. The part that amused me was the analogies in the speech--he warned the world community not to act as it did in 1939 with Hitler. (This is, mind you, a president that gets incensed at being compared to Hitler)
For those folks who are fuzzy on their WWII history, in 1939 the democratically elected president of a major industrial world power whipped his populace into a patriotic and mildly paranoid frenzy and invaded a weaker country that wasn't actually a threat.
Ah, I love the smell of irony in the morning...

Posted by: dannyman at March 6, 2003 04:23 PMNo, no, no! That's Zippy-ism, not irony. Not the same thing at all. (Though I do like the double-posting. Nice touch, there)
YOW! Have they set us UP the BOMB yet?
