Shoo Bush!

Iraqi gives GW Bush the shoe.

The Ugly American is white, middle aged to late middle age and has a social standing of middle high to high. And did I mention he's white?

What is irritating about the Ugly American is that he thinks that his views are the only views that matter. He doesn't care whether some people have better understanding of the situation. He can't accept views that contradict his own life experience, even if that experience is lived only in Beverly Hills or some other wealthy all-white neighborhood. His view is the only view.

The Ugly Americans fear the waning of the political, economic and military power of the United States of America. I guess they should. After all, without that political, economic and military might, they, the Ugly Americans, will have to face being ignored.

That, for them, is a fate worse than death.
