Coloured democracy!
Democracy Watcher, Dhaka
Is there a colour index in democracy? May be it seems so; given that the so called champion of democracy sitting in the White House is doodling while New Orleans drowns! Democracy for the blacks and other non whites comes from the end of the barrel or bomb, if they are away from home shores of the land of the white.Historically, the blacks were brought to slave away at the roots of the tree of democracy and free enterprise. Now that the tree is full grown, they should be grateful for being allowed to reside in this white land of milk and honey, and partake of some of the tree's fruits. Good Christian Samaritan that Bush claims to be, does not want to interfere with the wrath of God let loose on the minority black states. This is the classical case of the Christian fundamentalist at it's best! So what if millions are in hunger? The choppers are busy in Afghanistan and Iraq bringing in democracy to the coloured through bullets and bombs which takes precedence over the suffering and drowning blacks. They should thank their lucky stars that the Good Samaritan has sent six truck loads of food and medicines! Beware the free press trying to darken the image of the WASP (White Anglo Saxon Protestants). Neo Cons at the White House of "democracy". After all, in the overall national interest of "security" and "solidarity" even the "free" press can be brought to heel. Beware!
