Believe in Bush

Stingy, stingy… cried the media soon after George Bush announced America’s contribution to the tsunami relief aid. It was not much, about $35 million dollars, which has now been raised to $350 million.

But look at it from George Bush’s point of view. The man, awarded with the rare honour of The Humanitarian Disaster of the Year, has come out to help in more ways than one.

He is the President of United States of America and that, according to the American tradition, makes him the President of more or less the world.

He has been busy looking after spelling disasters, military disasters, intelligence disasters, and other disasters when a natural disaster with a silent T in its title hits Asia.

He announced the paltry figure as he was cracking the mysterious disasters. By the time he figured out the spelling mystery, the figures had gone up in the region. He did up the figure soon.

And now he is concentrating on finding a way to avenge the destruction caused by the Tsunami. Apart from slightly rebuking his intelligence officers for their failure of imagination, he has also assured the Asian nations that the Tsunami will be caught.

As quoted by world’s favourite website, “Swarthy people of Asia, you have my assurance that this... the tsunami, and the earthquake that caused it, will be dealt with the most extreme of severity. Just as we have caught Osama Bin Laden...”

So my dear fellow Asians, rest assured Dubya is on the job. Soon the tsunami will be caught and put in Guantanamo Bay or Belmarsh prison without. No chargesheet. No trial.
