Now try substituting the word "Iraq" instead of "Iran" in this address made today by Bush -
ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates (AP) -- President Bush said Sunday that Iran is threatening the security of the world, and that the United States and Arab allies must join together to confront the danger "before it's too late."
Bush said Iran funds terrorist extremists, undermines peace in Lebanon, sends arms to the Taliban, seeks to intimidate its neighbors with alarming rhetoric, defies the United Nations and destabilizes the entire region by refusing to be open about its nuclear program.
"Iran is the world's leading state sponsor of terror," Bush said in a speech he delivered about mid-way through his eight-day Mideast trip that began with a renewed push for an Israeli-Palestinian peace pact -- an accord he said whose "time has come."
Chiding U.S. allies who have withheld civil liberties, Bush said governments will never build trust by harassing or imprisoning candidates and protesters. But his rebuke was general, and he did not single out any U.S. partner in the region for oppressive practices.

It seems that he chides foreign governments that deny civil liberties ! How does he do this with a straight face? This is from the man who set-up the Guantanamo Concentration Camp (convicted? - Absolutely None !) and whose troops carry out abuse and torture as standard practise, seeing the Geneva Convention as an obstacle to their aims !
