Because President Bush has assured us that justice shall be served and that I can go shop at Wal Mart with reckless abandon. No act of terror or policy against peace and democracy will go unpunished. Beware all you bad guys! We are coming after you!

Of course, for a second there was a little worry about the economy, not having a job and having to move back to a country of "dishonest" people (thank you Mr. S. Khan, I was looking for one word with which to sweepingly and accurately describe 140 million people). However, the President assured me not once but at least four or five times in his speech at a Minnesota speaking engagement the other day that his tax cut would yield jobs. So no worries there either. What is wrong with all those 11 Nobel laureates criticising the tax cut anyway? Do they not get it? It's so simple. More money for the rich, insignificant tax returns for the middle-income, practically no help for the poor and astronomical deficits in all channels of social spending. See this way, we are eliminating the two things that cause the most unhappiness, the poor and social programs. Once they are out of the way, everyone will be happy again. It's so simple. Tax cuts = happiness.

As long as those "leftist liberal elite" (thank you Mr Elahi for giving me a term to describe all people not as conservative as John Ashcroft) trouble makers don't disturb my blissful repose with their disgusting "class warfare" and "Saddam loving, freedom hating" protests, I will be a happy alien, maybe even a tickled happy alien.
