Stupidity in Cannes

It seems as though Europeans just canÕt find enough ways to insult the United States. Now, theyÕre using Star Wars to make ridiculous comparisons:

Audiences viewing "Episode Three -- Revenge of the Sith" at the Cannes Film Festival are comparing the story of Anakin Skywalker's fall to the dark side and the rise of an emperor through warmongering to President Bush's war on terrorism and the invasion of Iraq.

Among the lines they cite is when Anakin tells former mentor Obi-Wan Kenobi "If you're not with me, then you're my enemy." After the Nine-Eleven attacks, Bush said, "Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists."

Of course, the fact that the Star Wars series was created long before the war in Iraq doesnÕt stop these people from whining, carping, and generally making stupid comments.

The more these people make such ridiculous comments, the more pathetic they look. Their dislike of the U.S. is based upon envy. If they would ditch socialism and support free markets, theyÕd stop bashing America, because theyÕd be too busy being productive.
