Belarussian leader labels Bush "terrorist no. 1"
http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/L19319389.htm

MINSK, March 19 (Reuters) - Belarussian President Alexander Lukashenko, derided in Washington for running "Europe's last dictatorship", hit back on Sunday by denouncing U.S. President George W. Bush as "terrorist No. 1 on the planet".

"Bush is terrorist no. 1 on the planet," Lukashenko told reporters after voting in Belarus's presidential election.

"To crush a state openly and then to go ahead and kill presidents. What is there to say?"

Lukashenko was responding to questions about a report submitted by Bush's administration to Congress accusing the Belarussian leader of accumulating large sums of money and selling arms to countries like Iran, Sudan and Syria.

impossible to send troops there. On the other hand Lukashenko is a Milosevic type- leader but luclily without territorial claims (Vladimir wouldn't appreciate).

2. that 'orange' revolution was also part of a us power play to realign
baltic states away from russia.
bushco used our money to fund the cia and many psudo-ngos which had a huge hand in whipping up the masses.

with the bush record anything they are involved in should be viewed with a skeptical eye. it might turn out to be better than the other alternatives or we/they may have been duped. only time will tell.
