Very Worrying

There's nothing more frightening than a man in supreme power doing things because he feels it's what God wants.
Bush's inaugural speech was confusing and dramatic. It was hard to pull out the important bits over the frothy God Bless America ideology.
"America's vital interests and our deepest beliefs are now one. From the day of our founding, we have proclaimed that every man and woman on this earth has rights, and dignity, and matchless value, because they bear the image of the maker of heaven and earth"
So people are worth something because they look like God? I don't get it.
"America will not impose our own style of government on the unwilling. Our goal instead is to help others find their own voice, attain their own freedom, and make their own way."
But he's saying every country should be like America. How can you help others who hate you for what you do and stand for?
"Our nation relies on men and women who look after a neighbor and surround the lost with love"
I'm sorry but this is a hug a tramp kind of line. Means nothing, Surround the lost with love? Oh ok lets surround those lost souls on death row with love before we frazzle them.
"Not because we consider ourselves a chosen nation; God moves and chooses as He wills".
Of Course he considers America the chosen nation and is saying it's because God has chosen them. How can he speak of God in one sentence and order an Invasion and deaths of thousands in another?
"May God bless you, and may He watch over the United States of America".
Fuck the world. Let them know they aren't American.
A chill goes through me and I worry for this world of ours. This strange, diverse, different, amazing, individual world. We want it to stay that way. Yes, stop the tyrants, torture, injustice. But not by blowing them all up. We are Human Beings. If there isn't another way then what is living all about?
The speech in full, make up your own minds.

Its sounds more accurate if you put the term 'Unless you're gay' after every paragraph. What a fucking hypocrite he is.
