Beirut and the Lebanon should in itself be an object lesson to GWB, it has gone from being a beautiful prosperous city to what it now is, in a series of political and religious wars and occupations. Democracy doesn't seem to have offered any answers there, and it won't in Iraq.
How can a country which has such a corrupt, and only titular democracy itself, hold their system up as an example to others? How many people were disenfranchised in Florida 4 years ago, how many bills were passed or vetoed due to pressure by big business contributors to political funds.
'The People have Spoken' is crap, only money talks, in this as in so many other so called democracies, and that definitely includes this bunch of spin merchants in the UK.
