"Bush Begins New Term, Vows to End Tyranny" - does anyone else see irony
in this headline? Or that the meaning could be taken in two ways?

1. Irony is not a strong enough word.... More like lying and hypocrisy.

2. Lying and hypocrisy are not strong enough
Poking eyes out or other torture of opponents fits best.

3. I find it odd that *'s supporters don't see how mistreating prisoners is
wrong, never mind all the Geneva convention stuff. Some in the US Militia are definitely as much tyrants as Saddam was.

And it's a shitter of a shame too.

How has the rest of the world responded? Not with optimisim, I dare say.
