bush; BIGGEST SUPPORTER of OPPRESSIVE REGIMES.

[LynnTheDem]

Some of the administration's allies in the war against terrorism -- including Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Uzbekistan -- are ranked by the State Department as among the worst human rights abusers.

The president has proudly proclaimed his friendship with Russian President Vladimir Putin while remaining largely silent about Putin's dismantling of democratic institutions in the past four years. The administration, eager to enlist China as an ally in the effort to restrain North Korea's nuclear ambitions, has played down human rights concerns there, as well.

Bush's speech "brought to a high level the gap between the rhetoric and reality in U.S. foreign policy,"

And one of bush's very good pals is Islam Karimov of Uzbekistan. Uzbekistan; listed by the US State Dept as the world's 2nd most repressive regime in the world.

THAT is why "they" hate us; because America is the biggest f*cking HYPOCRITE on the planet.

So come on, bush! Invade & occupy the OOTs (outposts of tyranny) of UZBEKISTAN and SAUDI ARABIA and PAKISTAN and EGYPT! You wouldn't let FRIENDSHIP with these OPPRESSIVE REGIMES stand in your way, now would you!

2. Oh no; let's start with the oppressive regimes bush SUPPORTS.

That, after all, would most demonstrate he is NOT a hypocrite, right? And bush doesn't support N. Korea, as far as we know.

3. The "Christian" morals of the capitalists of the

capitalists who a exploit foriegn nations people or national rescources also piss them off. The oil industry has turned paradise into a toxic swamp in some parts of the world. The citizens eat a little better, but their country never accumulates any wealth.

Muslims view greed as a sin, Republicraps believe it is a virtue.

4. In relation to Uzbekistan

the British ambassador to that country was dismissed in October 2004 after he spoke out at the country's poor human rights record. The story comes from Britain's The Independent, I've got the link but you have to pay to get into it.

Sort of sums up the situation. Must be a case of "he's a son of a bitch, but he's our son of a bitch".
