Bush in 30 seconds
A series of 30 second political advertisments regarding the Bush regime.
I've watched about ten of them now, every one of them worth the time.
I know some people think I'm a regular yank basher... though I do occasionally, it's mostly jocular. I do not have a deep-seated hatred for Americans at all, but I loathe, despise and fear their government, and those that support it. I do know that this is, a minority. I don't mean to upset my American friends, or denigrate them - I still believe that Americans are a good people, with a whole fucking bag of virtues. It does, however, take a (just and necessary) mental effort to remember, when every headline you read condemns their government so clearly, that it would be just as wrong to judge their country as a whole as it is to make generalised commentary about (for example) the Arab nations or any other large group of humans.
Things like these ads show exactly why we should have faith that it's not the people, but the rulers that are so foul.
Take a look.
