Bush starts re-election by coming to Europe to celebrate the destruction of Fascism by .......and wait for it ..............meeting Silvio berlesconi (the man who wants to be a dictator) and a real one in the vatican. So Bush meet Berlusconi to condemn fascism, this man who was elected in 1994 through an alliance of post-fascists of the National Alliance and the xenophobes of the Northern League. Then he has the audacity to call in on ‘ol J.P. the dictator of a church which didn't apologise for its failure to condemn the Nazi's in th e war years until 1998 or ever address the accussation of involvment in the holocaust. |

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4ok he's a cleric, for that he's terrible, a priest of the church of Rome, a patriarch, but th ereason I've always written "Pope Great man he", is like most in ireland I saw him in 1979 he got over two million to his gigs.
all sorts. My family sat next to the jewish neighbours having a picnic up in the phoenix park. = He draws a crowd.
and I'm aware that millions of other people all over the world have seen him as well.
and he holds his line.
youknow what I mean?
no double think from the pope.
no plus plus good crap from John Paul 2.
you know where you are with the pope.
And, he's obviously really really old, and frail and weak, and sick. And he's still buzzing about (ok it's in luxury) but hey, if I get that old and I'm capable of being airlifted more often than a US president to almost every country in the world, wow.
he's great.
a proper holy go-er.
Old Carl was forced at the point of an Waffen-SS rifle to break rocks in a quarry.
He stood up to the bastards by surviving.
He stood up the Commie military junta crushing the Polish people.
Yet.....
He INVITED Tariq Aziz for a friendly chat and opposed the removal of Saddam.
Presumably he didn't give a fuck about some poor Iraqi forced to break rocks at the point of a Republican Guard rifle.
None of the Left protested.
Yet they protest NOW when the liberator of Iraq- George W. Bush- meets his Holiness.
His Holiness has the bare faced cheek to lecture Bush on Iraqi freedom!
Please - While some may not like the US position in Iraq, I fail to see how Mr. Bush is a dictator or facisist.
The 1/2 the world calls the man an idiot and hates him, including half the people in his country, yet I see or hear not one word or action by him to supress this critisim.
That is what dictators do!
Also I feel that history will serve him well and his detractors, like many before and during WWII will be proven wrong
I agree that its too simplistic to call Bush a dictator. And to ignore the good that can come from the (unnecessary and cynical) war in Iraq.
Also a pity Bush visited at a time when he could hide behind Liberation ceremonies.
