Beijing Olympic: George W. Bush the Champ... or Chimp

George W. Bush has screwed up this world more so than any other world leader in recent history. What Iran could not do itself, Bush did for Iran, bring down Saddam Hussein. Now Iran has come out as a superpower of the region with influence over Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and the Palestinian territories. The strongest ally of US in the Arab world, Saudi Arabia, now looks very weak.

This Chimp has succeeded to do all this.

Also, the botched invasion of Afghanistan has strengthened the fundamentalism there and now in Pakistan as well. This botched invasion has resulted in a very dangerous situation in the Indian subcontinent. It would look that India is busy inciting Pashtuns against Pakistan.

Kashmir is another fire keg where Pakistan has its influence because of the Muslim majority there. A war between India and Pakistan will be a global tragedy as both nations have nuclear capability and, given the instability among the top leadership of these nations, and the probability of rash decisions, it could lead to catastrophe at the global level.

Now there is a crisis in Georgia. If US had any moral authority and military muscle left it could have negotiated a peaceful diplomatic solution with NATO power behind its efforts, but with the US stuck in the quagmire of Iraq and Afghanistan, including some NATO forces, that does not look likely. This emboldens Russia to do whatever it wishes. The Georgian leader is another chimp who chose a lousy time to assert its control over a separatist region.

George W. Bush has screwed up this world and its stability for personal gain - that is to control oil wells in the Middle East which he does not have either now. So this idiotic leader can only be characterized as a chimp.

Beijing: Tanning of Mansbridge of CBC

Something is happening to Peter Mansbridge. Either it's the heat in Beijing, or the smog, which is giving him a new layer of skin and taking off some of the shine on his head.
Will they be able to recognize him at the CBC when he comes back to Canada? Maybe that explains the different skin tones in the World. Or maybe China has brand new business opportunities to open up tanning stadiums for our desperate population in North America and Europe who want to get a tan.

Hu Jintao meets Bush

Bush warns the President of China, Hu Jintao, that his human rights record is not so good. This is true given the situation in Tibet. But does Bush, of all people, have the moral authority to give that kind of advice given the murder and mayhem he has caused in Iraq.

Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Al-Malaki is telling Bush to get out as soon as possible.

It is a sad story for Americans. I hope their next President will do better.

Stephen Harper the poodleyman

You have heard of wolfman, now meet the poodleyman. This poodleyman gets very upset if you say anything against his master George W. Bush. But you do have to give it to him that he is very loyal to his master.

While Australia and Britain have relatively sane and independent leaders, why in Canada do we deserve Bush's poodle?

George W. Bush's expected reception in China

I am disappointed with my American friends, they are objecting to Bush attending the opening ceremonies of the Beijing Olympics because China has a poor human rights record. Of course, there are many serious human rights violations in China, I would not dispute this point. But the bigger question that must be asked is, what kind of human rights record does George W. Bush have, and shouldn't he be held accountable for it?

Bush lied to Americans, misled them about Iraq so he could carry out an illegal invasion. Now tens of thousands (maybe even hundreds of thousands) of Iraqis are dead, with many more displaced. Four thousand American troops have died in Iraq. All because of this illegal invasion.

Mayhem and murder continues in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Given all this, can Bush preach to the Chinese about human rights when he hardly has a human rights record of his own?

Furthermore, Bush repeatedly disregarded the Constitution of the United States over the course of his Presidency as he ignored the seperation of powers created by the founding fathers. He also disregarded habeus corpus for detainees kept in Iraq and at Guantanamo Bay (apparantely there are also detainees being kept on ships in deplorable conditions).

Dennis Kucinich and Robert Wexler, both members of Congress, have rightly asked that Bush be impeached, citing a record that is nothing short of criminal. I one-hundred percent agree with these members of Congress and I would strongly urge my American friends to take cues from these two individuals and protest against the criminal and mass murderer who calls himself President of the United States.
