Does Newsweek consider this to be "People Power?"

Newsweek cover, on anti-Syrian demonstration:





Pro-Syrian demonstration:

[gratuitous]

1. Thundering silence from the corrupt Bush administration

They won't even acknowledge the far larger demonstration, I'll bet.

And the 101st Fighting Keyboarders will not know what to do or say, because Rush won't acknowledge it, either.

But how's about this: The situation is a little more complicated than freedom vs. terrorism, and before our leaders start popping off like they know all about what's happening, we learn a little more?

3. bush, Cartel, & bushbots don't give a damn about any nation's majority

bush praised Italy's Berlusconi for "spreading democracy" by being part of his "coalition" in Iraq.

-Berlusconi ignored the will of 90% of the Italians...who OPPOSED bush's illegal war of aggression & occupation of Iraq.

bush praised Spain's former PM Aznar for "spreading democracy" by being part of his "coalition" in Iraq.

-Aznar ignored the will of 85% of the Spaniards...who OPPOSED bush's illegal war of aggression & occupation of Iraq.

bush told Turkey's military they should have IGNORED the Turkish government and joined his "coalition" to invade Iraq.

bush told Turkey's government they should have IGNORED the 98% of Turks who OPPOSED bush's illegal war of aggression & occupation of Iraq.

NOT ONE NATION in bush's entire "coalition" had a majority who supported bush's invasion & occupation of Iraq. How is IGNORING the vast majority of your own people "SPREADING DEMOCRACY"???

5. then there's Venezuela

prematurely celebrating (and probably involved in) the elected president's illegal ouster.

6. Overthrowing democratically elected governments is nothing new to the US

And installing rightwing dictators. It's what the American rightwing does.

That, and support every thug & dictator on the planet, including the Taleban and Osama bin Laden.
