Leaving aside the issue of Guantanamo Bay which has already been mentioned, the USA bombed neutral countries during the Vietnam war. That is a war crime. Not to mention the attack recently within the borders of Syria.
I don`t see the USA storming in to help the oppressed people of Zimbabwe, but they don`t any resources you want to plunder. If the US government is so concerned about protecting the rights of oppressed peoples around the world, why did Dick Cheney vote *against* a motion codemning the house-arrest of Nelson Mandela?
Back on the topic of Bush, I suppose it's no suprise that he is attempting to stifle freedom of speech within the UK, he is already doing that in his own country.
