Bush on the warpath

UNLIKE any previous US president, George W Bush has set a dangerous precedent in Iraq for hostile action against another country.

Many wonder why Bush hasn’t faced down North Korea, rid Zimbabwe of Robert Mugabe or simply yelled at some other people for not walking properly.

Perhaps he will, for the precedent has been set and it is unlikely to end on the dusty streets of Baghdad.

US citizens must realise that unless they remove Bush at the next election, they will be at the mercy of a political breed unable to see righteousness in any eyes other than their own. Iraq is just the curtain-raiser. Who will not yield when Bush comes to shove?
