The Eagle has landed. Bush has arrived in the Netherlands. Mr. War-President, invading Iraq without permission from UN etc, has just landed at Maastricht-Aachen airport, in Beek, the Netherlands. All for a remembrance ceremony in the tiny town of Margraten, where several thousands of US soldiers are buried.

Bush claims he's fighting to spread democracy to the rest of the world. Even to places where it probably doesn't even work very well. However, security around him is so tight, he doesn't leave much room for demonstrations. If there is one, they can stand a few hundred yards away from him. I doubt he's ever really noticed anything of any demonstration "near" him. Not a man who listens to his own people very well, for someone who claims to be all pro democracy.

In a recent interview he said "I make a decision that I think is right, that's what leaders do." And that's the problem. He does something he can't. He THINKS.

Well, he's gone again tomorrow, and probably for the best too. He should fix up his own country before ruining others. Or maybe he should just get back to school and crank up his knowledge a bit.
