RECENTLY, the American House of Representatives and Congress voted to withdraw from Iraq early in 2008. Wonderful, we all thought, at last a light at the end of a long, dark tunnel.
Not so, George Bush, who just loves to impose his brand of democracy on other countries, has vetoed the Bill, which, if ratified, would have saved many American and Iraqi lives.
And we all thought that dictators only thrived in nations which did not think as we do, and now we have the president of the mighty US behaving like a tinpot dictator, acting just like those he despises.
