NEWS.com.au | Bush named Time's posterboy (December 20, 2004). Time magazine can hardly claim to be an impartial production. Last year it was the American Soldier, this year it's Yeeha Dubya who done went and found them some shit to shoot.

OK so the war ended Saddam's rule and that would appear to be a good thing, but Iraq still appears to be a fucked up nation. Just like last time, the US is not creating peace and happiness in Iraq. But the oil is still pumping, so I guess they're not overly worried.

This is the big test - how much of that massive judgement will he actually be able to collect? It does at least set a precedent. Spammers, even the courts hate you.
