"Whether I like it or not my government is me."

If your government was led by Stalin? Hitler? Saddam? My point mot being that Bush is to be equated with all these, but that "my government is me" doesn't really stand-up when you think what it means. (And remember Hitler came to power through a democratic electoralmsystem, even though more people voted against him than for him. That happens in other places too.)

If our governments don't stand for what we believe in we've got a right and a duty to stand up against them. And so have other people in other countries.
