Yesterday, I wrote about Newsweek’s despicable cover depicting an American flag in a trash can that appeared on the Feb. 2 cover in Japan only.
Well, the cover for that same edition that appeared in other parts of the world, except for the United States, showed a picture of President Bush with the headline, "America Leads… But is Anyone Following?" The story inside was supposedly all about "the world’s rejection of the American way of life." That story did not appear in the US edition. The US cover was fluff about the oscars.
Of course, the self-loathing twerps at Newsweek, who, I imagine, love to discuss the shortcomings of Americans, while they dine on sushi, didn’t have the courage to run these covers in this country. If the rest of the world rejects the American way of life, why do so many people all around the world go to such great lengths to imitate things American? I suspect that it’s not the people that reject the American way of life, but rather, the despotic rulers and tyrant wanna-be’s who fear the effects of American freedom.
