scathing anti-** article

<snip>

We do not want a freedom and democracy based on the US model, where the electoral system can be rigged so easily, in this, one of the few countries which still has the death penalty. We do not want a freedom and democracy based on Washington's flawed model, controlled by a clique of corporate elitists who gravitate around the White House, making a mockery of their people and a mockery of democracy and which practise a policy of freedom of the press which makes the Gestapo look like fairy godmothers.

1. That's the tough part about trying to rule the whole world...

You have to buy off all the worlds media outlets. I don't think there is enough money in the universe for that.

5. You don't have to buy them off

Just send them a little anthrax in the mail.

2. Great read--thanks

I guess speaking out against this administration does have its perks--thankfully there are places like DU that can show the rest of the world that we all don't support the cretin chimp.

7. Thanks for posting that link.

Despite the happy talk from our corporate mediawhores, the rest of the world can see bushler clearly for what he is - a blivet (got that from another post). Next week I'll be out of the country for a week. It will be interesting to read news from another country. I'm from Bermuda and still visit often. Even though the country needs America's tourist dollars, the people are anti-bush.
