Bush has all of his arrogance, all of his pompous self-righteousness. If any of you ever get a chance, take a look at old footage of Benito and you'll be amazed by the similarities. I don't speak a word of Italian, but even without reading translations you can tell the guy is a first-class schmuck. Same can be said for the Bush. Both are more comical figures, mere caricatures, than they are leaders, but unfortunately for the people who live under their rule they're dangerous megalomaniacs. Don't believe me, just review this entry from Wikipedia, and tell me you don't see the parallels to what was once America:
Benito Amilcare Andrea Mussolini (July 29, 1883 - April 28, 1945) ruled Italy as a dictator from 1922 to 1943. He created a fascist state through the use of state terror and propaganda. Using his charisma, total control of the media and intimidation of political rivals, he disassembled the existing democratic government system.... Fascism was a product of a general feeling of anxiety and fear among the middle-class of postwar Italy, arising out of a convergence of interrelated economic, political, and cultural pressures. Italy had no long-term tradition of parliamentary compromise, and public discourse took on an inflammatory tone on all sides... At first Mussolini was supported by the Liberals in parliament. With their help, he introduced strict censorship and altered the methods of election so that in 1925–1926 he was able to assume dictatorial powers and dissolve all other political parties. Skillfully using his absolute control over the press, he gradually built up the legend of Il duce, a man who never slept, was always right, and could solve all the problems of politics and economics. Italy was soon a police state. The assassination of the prominent Socialist Giacomo Matteotti in 1924, began a prolonged political crisis in Italy, which did not end until the beginning of 1925 when Mussolini asserted his personal authority over both country and party to establish a personal dictatorship. Mussolini's skill in propaganda was such that he had surprisingly little opposition to suppress... On April 27, 1945, in the afternoon, near the village of Dongo (Como Lake), just before the Allied armies reached Milan, Mussolini, along with his mistress Claretta Petacci, were caught by the Italian partisans as he headed for Chiavenna to board a plane for escape to Switzerland. The day after, April 28, they were both executed along with their sixteen-man train, mostly ministers and officials of the Italian Social Republic. The next day their bodies were hung, upside down, in Piazzale Loreto (Milan) along with those of other fascists, to be abused by the crowds. Mussolini's body was then buried in an unmarked grave in a Milan cemetery ....

Do you see the similarities? (Except for that last bit -- I threw that in for good measure. )
But hey, at least in the end the Italians got rid of theirMussolini... Says a lot about the lazy thoughtless pricks in this country.
The idiots here re-elected their's at the urging of God and his hell-fire, a fear of being deemed un-American, and after having brought Bush's lie that you shouldn't change horses midstream. Plus let's not even factor in the stolen election. The people who are complacent and apathetic about the stolen election are just as bad as those who voted for the bastard Bush because they won't stand and fight against his brand of freedom, dangerous despotism boarding on the blatantly insane. Yaw--hooo!!!
