Us guys have historically had the urge to prove ourselves in combat with and against other males. The unwritten rule is: it's not a real test unless our opponent is at least equal (or superior) to us in strength and cunning. We always relish a David-and-Goliath or Gates-of-Thermopylae match where we can feel even more vindicated and affirmed from having gone into a fight of insurmountable odds and prevailed.
With the neocons the rules changed: We will rock you, Iraq/Iran/Syria/Jordan/Venezuela, but we will only go against foes of infinitely less threat and capability than ourselves, to ensure that we always emerge victorious. No wonder we are so hated in the world today, even by our putative allies like England and Israel (come to think of it, those are the only "allies" we have left -- way to go, boy George!). We strut our hypocrisy and bullying character in shameless abandon across the globe and think noone sees our empirical threads of sheerest gossamer.
Now, a real man -- not a tweedy think-tank policy wonk who strategizes war from a desktop high atop his nonprofit org in D.C. -- would see right through the cowardice of Bush-bots who, instead of directing their wrath at Communist China or Soviet Russia or AIPAC, must go macho on the lone grieving mother of murdered American soldier named Cindy Sheehan.
And hey! let's don't just assassinate her character and beliefs using the full weight of the lamestream media and taxpayer-supported government henchmen, let's terrorize her and the band of protestors at Camp Casey by mowing down a row of crosses erected in memory of fallen U.S. soldiers under cover of night like some Bush supporters did a couple of weeks ago, with all the machismo and courage of cloaked nightriders from the heyday of the Klan!
The least we can do as patriotic Americans is to push for the impeachment and ouster of George Bush and his merry crew of gutless plutocrats.
