I think George W Bush is a right bastard. He is a corrupt and cynical, and if he was standing next to me right now I'd probably punch him.

1> I believe there was definitely some kind of chicanery involved in the "election" that put him in the whitehouse.

2> His attitude toward environmental issues (refusal to sign Kyoto treaty, drilling for oil in Alaska) is intolerable.

3> He has defiled the memory of all the ppl who died in the twin towers by using their deaths as currency in his warmongering and erosion of civil liberties.

4> His abuses of human rights (those ppl locked up in Cuba without charge, status, trial or legal representation) are intolerable.

5> His relentless agenda for warfare, which will result in countless innocent deaths and no positive change in the middle eastern region is intolerable.

I'm reading a book right now about current American politics. It's very biased, and I take everything with a pinch of salt, but it there is clear evidence in there that Bush is nothing more than a corporate puppet, stripping away environmental protection and sending people to their deaths in order to advance the interests of his oil/ power company backers.

Not that we are any better off in the UK: Tony Blair should get his nose out of Bush's arsehole and lead the world in standing up to him.

The worst thing is that our major opposition party is equally renowned for corruption and as far as I can tell the US opposition party is not much better than Bush.

Just my opinion.
