"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Bad Reviews for Bush in the Mideast
?The disparaging of President Bush's eight-day tour of the Middle East by America's staunchest opponents in the region was hardly unexpected. Iran's foreign minister claimed it was designed to give Israel a green light 'to perpetrate new crimes' against Palestinians. Lebanon's most senior Shi'ite cleric accused Bush of 'war crimes.' A prominent jihadist web site called the President 'this criminal, butcher and murderer of our blood.' But Bush was also harshly criticized ? albeit in more circumspect language ? in countries with close ties to Washington, including some from the very countries that rolled out the red carpet for the visiting President.?
