Dictator double standard
Bush's views on dictators really piss me off.

He wanted to remove one dictator, Saddam Hussein, became he's a "threat to humanity and America", yet he supports another brutal dictator, Pakistan's Pervez Musharraf, because he's a "friend and ally in the war on terror", and oh, not to mention that lovable Saudi royal family.

Bush is an expert in double standards. Am I right? :mad:

1. "You're either with us or against us" is his ONLY 'standard.'
There are no well-founded values and principles underlying his behavior ... mere self-centered narcissism. Cheney, on the other hand, promulgates the "might makes right" standard, which is ages old, and serves his sociopathic perspective.

2. Here's some more double-speak:
Bush calls Pervez Musharraf of Pakistan "PRESIDENT Musharraf". Musharraf seized power in a bloodless coup.

Meanwhile, Bush calls Hugo Chavez a "DICTATOR" who was democratically elected in Venezuela.
