Here is the man (Bush) who does not stop talking about spreading "freedom" in the Middle East, holding the hand of the symbol of Arab oppression, the head of an archaic religious dictatorship which still stones people to death, still beheads poor people with a sword, still sentences people to lashes, still arrests people for worshiping "the wrong" religion.

What As’ad have said here is what I think too 100% and I can assure you Iraqis and other people from the Middle East that I know personally agree with him fully too.
