Bush contradiction
In a meeting in New Hampshire today (see Gaurdian Unlimited at http://www.guardian.co.uk/uselections2004/story/0,13918,1318758,00.html for full story) Bush said:

" 'I've never seen a meeting that would depose a tyrant, or bring a terrorist to justice. "

If so why is he touting the "success" in disarming of Libya and bringing Col. Gaddafi to be an acceptable leader as a great success of his?

Bush appears to be thrashing in the wind like Don Quixote!!

1. Bush is so against tyranny
that he ignores the crisis in Sudan because they don't have enough oil.

Why is he doing meetings with North Korea?

2. This, from a man, who is silent
on growing authoritarianism - the disbanding of elections and the courts, in Russia - undertaken by the former head of the KGB... a man very familiar with the use of "tyranny" to create "order" among the population.

3. Not to mention that the claim is bogus anyway. Gaddafi was negotiating
us LONG before we invaded Iraq. Bush is taking credit for another thing he didn't do.

4. Please don't demean Don Quixote by comparing him to Smirk.
Don Quixote was a hero because he did the "right thing" even though he believed his life was endangered. That's courage. Anyone who believes themselves invulnerable cannot be courageous. Threatening the lives of others while surrounded by virtually invulnerable protections is the act of a coward and bully.
