Open Letter to America from a Canadian
(W.R. McDougall, September 2002)
[COMMENT: This letter was widely published one year ago. Unfortunately, every point in it bears repeating, AND REMEMBERING, once again.]

Your once-great nation has fallen into madness, an affliction of mass denial that sends shivers up the spines of millions outside your borders. Yours is a sick nation. . . . You have become a nation of monsters, America. Hypocrites. Murderers. Fools. . . . You have become a nation of suckers, America, to be bled dry of your hard-earned pay through outrageous bank schemes, Wall Street rip-offs and fake government budget grabs. Your Pentagon cannot account for trillions in lost dollars. . . . Does this bother you? Seemingly not! . . . George W. Bush deceives you daily, the war monger hiding behind a phony patriotism. He's an Enron buddy boy, a spoiled child lying in his teeth about his past and current dirty deeds. . . . Does he care about you, America? Hardly. This is altogether obvious to those outside your borders who are politically aware and awake to the world around them. . . . You were never concerned about the disgraceful practices of George's ruthless father, either, a Bin-Laden cohort and friend to criminals and killers in global drug, oil and terrorist enterprises. His father was thrice convicted for trading illegally with Hitler too! Iran. Vietnam. El Salvador. Chile. Guatemala. Iraq. And on and on. The never-ending bully-boy story of blood, guns, drugs and money. Does any of this matter? No, it's simply time to eat. . . . Go get your ten-billionth burger, America. Fatten your already fat asses with bacteria-and-hormone-ridden meat and do nothing as you sit stupefied before your mind-numbing television sets awaiting the next episode of sad families being humiliated on Cops. . . . Few among you seem concerned that no real investigation of 911 has taken place, that no serious investigation of the anthrax attacks is moving forward, that no authentic investigation of Enron, or the murder of one of its top executives, is underway. . . . How many of you give the slightest damn about the totalitarian measures your government is taking to keep its secret meetings, grubby files and treasonous activities from your eyes? . . . Today, you excoriate, ridicule and ostracize the brave and true among you. . . . Your best investigative journalists are fired from their jobs and ignored. . . . Congress's few courageous souls are laughed at and dismissed out of hand as crackpots. . . . The most honest and conscientious political leader in the country,
Ralph Nader, is a powerless, near-invisible curiosity easily side-lined by hired goons. . . . America, you are a goddamn shame. What law matters now in your despicable state? What justice? What truth? When will you wake up? . . . Why dont you right now gather your courage, take to the streets and march on Washington D.C in the millions?! Yet I know you will do no such thing. The vast majority of you seem spiritually, emotionally and intellectually dead.
