Hi, My Name is Scott, and I'm an American

Come with us and join Americans Anonymous:

Yes, unfortunately, I must confess the truth, there's no use denying it: I'm an American. That means I am not intelligent enough to realize the gravest dangers threatening mankind today are Coca-Cola, McDonald's, and a rodent named Mickey. It means I am too simple-minded to realize that modern European society represents the pinnacle of brotherhood (or is on the path thereto). It means I am too myopic to realize that referring to régimes such as Saddam's or Kim Jong-Il's or Brezhnev's as 'evil' is hopelessly retrograde, not to mention preposterous. (And I hope that one day Iraqis, North Koreans, and citizens of former Warsaw Pact countries who think the same will be able to make a pilgrimage to Western Europe, where the powers that be will, in their infinite wisdom, sober them up by telling them to shut up and by otherwise correcting all such reactionary beliefs.)

It takes awhile to get rolling, but once it does it squashes nearly every snide soft-headed argument I've ever heard come out of an "enlightened" citizen's mouth. Also puts a nice kibosh on some of the "we should've waited, we should've built a coalition" arguments. But that's just me.

Via Iraq Now.
