Basic flaw in reasoning, MG. George Dubya and his sycophantic cadre of cronies, including our own Tony Blair, are not a nation, and criticising, or mocking, them is not the same as mocking the USA or Britain.

These idiots work for us, and if they are doing a bad job it reflects on their incompetence, not the quality of the nation they are supposed to represent.

If executives of a corporation messed up in the same way, they would be canned instantly. Unfortunately, it isn't quite that easy to get rid of a bad administration.

If you see a dislike of Bush policies as tantamount to treason, then your notion of American democracy and freedom is sicker than Dubya's.
