Bush: "You can't make me, make me, MAKE ME!"

Nobody's happy with President Bush's position on global warming. Every other world government wants America to make laws and meet deadlines to reduce carbon emissions. Mr. Bush says he's done more than enough: he's asked the auto companies to make cars that get better mileage, and for God's sake, there are limits to what a human being can do.

Yesterday he reiterated that we're already doing what we can. “Whatever we do,” he said, “must be in concert with what happens internationally. Unless there is an accord with China, China will produce greenhouse gases that will offset anything we do in a brief period of time.”

So, this is America's official position, and hopefully it'll get the rest of the world off our backs. It didn't wash as an excuse when we were grade-schoolers, but maybe coming from the leader of the free world it will: "If China doesn't have to, then why do I?"
