The 2004 US presidential election will be a referendum on the Bush doctrine of preemptive military action, George Soros, the financier and philanthropist declared today.
But getting rid of Mr Bush is not enough, Mr Soros argued, saying that the US needs an alternative vision. The man who famously who made a fortune betting against the pound in the late 80s, said America had "gone off the rails" after September 11 and that it was important to "puncture the bubble of American supremacy."

In London to promote his latest book, The Bubble of American Surpremacy - a tirade against the Bush administration - Mr Soros told a packed auditorium at the London School of Economics that he was prepared to use some of his vast fortune to turf Mr Bush out of the White House.

Reiterating his willingness to put his money where his mouth is, Mr Soros said: "I am ready to step in to rectify the disparity of money for Bush and against Bush."

3. or at least a lack of religious delusion

I think the Bush doctrine of pre-emptive military action and American supremacy is fueled by Bush's and members of PNAC's religious fanaticism and how the non-religious fanatics like Cheney and Rumsfeld exploit it.

5. Soros must help buy a television outlet

Perhaps a buyout of CNN or NBC or MSNBC etc.
