Bushies Brand as Evil/Bad/Lacking/Unsuitable/and or Foolish??

The WORLD may not all speak / understand English...But...Many know BODY LANGUAGE...and what signs does this dude show? Anything but good. He shows terrible signs.

Google Body Language Bush....and read about Lauers report on Bush's language and his blink rates.facial expressions... if Matt can see this, as we all do, them Iraqis and others, can see it too.

1. Democracy "American style" isn't what everybody wants
This is a big mistake to believe this. And it doesn't matter who is President in the US.

1) a lot of Western Nations see the American model as "interesting", but prefer their own model.
2) For the nations with no historical democratic background, democracy (and secularity) is only interesting for enlighted intellectuals. The masses want peace and bread and don't give a fuck how they are ruled as long as they can put food on their family, to quote Dubya.
3) Former Empires like the British or France have failed previously in similar missions and understood that democratic values can only come out of a genuine internal change in those countries and cannot be imposed from outside.
4) American Presidents don't read history books, specially the later one.

4. The man doesn't read and it reflects....Dooming himself and his Party
to the Bad Sector of History...

Unforgivable in light of the Social Advancements made in recent years...

He just don't get it because he is IGNORANT beyond COMPREHENSION...Canardly hammer a nail for Gods Sake....
