A Letter from Michael Moore to George W. Bush on the Eve of War

George W. Bush
1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
Washington, DC

Dear Governor Bush:

So today is what you call "the moment of truth," the day that "France and 
the rest of world have to show their cards on the table." I'm glad to hear 
that this day has finally arrived. Because, I gotta tell ya, having 
survived 440 days of your lying and conniving, I wasn't sure if I could 
take much more. So I'm glad to hear that today is Truth Day, 'cause I got a 
few truths I would like to share with you:

1. There is virtually NO ONE in America (talk radio nutters and Fox News 
aside) who is gung-ho to go to war. Trust me on this one. Walk out of the 
White House and on to any street in America and try to find five people who 
are PASSIONATE about wanting to kill Iraqis. YOU WON'T FIND THEM! Why? 
'Cause NO Iraqis have ever come here and killed any of us! No Iraqi has 
even threatened to do that. You see, this is how we average Americans 
think: If a certain so-and-so is not perceived as a threat to our lives, 
then, believe it or not, we don't want to kill him! Funny how that works!

2. The majority of Americans -- the ones who never elected you -- are not 
fooled by your weapons of mass distraction. We know what the real issues 
are that affect our daily lives -- and none of them begin with I or end in 
Q. Here's what threatens us: two and a half million jobs lost since you 
took office, the stock market having become a cruel joke, no one knowing if 
their retirement funds are going to be there, gas now costs almost two 
dollars -- the list goes on and on. Bombing Iraq will not make any of this 
go away. Only you need to go away for things to improve.

3. As Bill Maher said last week, how bad do you have to suck to lose a 
popularity contest with Saddam Hussein? The whole world is against you, Mr. 
Bush. Count your fellow Americans among them.

4. The Pope has said this war is wrong, that it is a SIN. The Pope! But 
even worse, the Dixie Chicks have now come out against you! How bad does it 
have to get before you realize that you are an army of one on this war? Of 
course, this is a war you personally won't have to fight. Just like when 
you went AWOL while the poor were shipped to Vietnam in your place.

5. Of the 535 members of Congress, only ONE (Sen. Johnson of South Dakota) 
has an enlisted son or daughter in the armed forces! If you really want to 
stand up for America, please send your twin daughters over to Kuwait right 
now and let them don their chemical warfare suits. And let's see every 
member of Congress with a child of military age also sacrifice their kids 
for this war effort. What's that you say? You don't THINK so? Well, hey, 
guess what -- we don't think so either!

6. Finally, we love France. Yes, they have pulled some royal screw-ups. 
Yes, some of them can pretty damn annoying. But have you forgotten we 
wouldn't even have this country known as America if it weren't for the 
French? That it was their help in the Revolutionary War that won it for us? 
That our greatest thinkers and founding fathers -- Thomas Jefferson, Ben 
Franklin, etc. -- spent many years in Paris where they refined the concepts 
that lead to our Declaration of Independence and our Constitution? That it 
was France who gave us our Statue of Liberty, a Frenchman who built the 
Chevrolet, and a pair of French brothers who invented the movies? And now 
they are doing what only a good friend can do -- tell you the truth about 
yourself, straight, no b.s. Quit pissing on the French and thank them for 
getting it right for once. You know, you really should have traveled more 
(like once) before you took over. Your ignorance of the world has not only 
made you look stupid, it has painted you into a corner you can't get out of.

Well, cheer up -- there IS good news. If you do go through with this war, 
more than likely it will be over soon because I'm guessing there aren't a 
lot of Iraqis willing to lay down their lives to protect Saddam Hussein. 
After you "win" the war, you will enjoy a huge bump in the popularity polls 
as everyone loves a winner -- and who doesn't like to see a good 
ass-whoopin' every now and then (especially when it 's some third world 
ass!). So try your best to ride this victory all the way to next year's 
election. Of course, that's still a long ways away, so we'll all get to 
have a good hardy-har-har while we watch the economy sink even further down 
the toilet!

But, hey, who knows -- maybe you'll find Osama a few days before the 
election! See, start thinking like THAT! Keep hope alive! Kill Iraqis -- 
they got our oil!!

Yours,

Michael Moore
