You mean say things like "You're either with us or you're against us"?

Or how about "After praising nations like Bahrain, Morocco, and Oman for embracing reforms, the US leader scolded Iran -- which he once labelled part of 'an axis of evil' along with North Korea and Iraq -- and warned its leadership must follow suit or "lose its last claim to legitimacy."'

Or "But the president's remarks stretched beyond the Middle East, as he declared that the US "commitment to democracy is tested in Cuba and Burma and North Korea and Zimbabwe -- outposts of oppression in our world."

The terrorist are just that, they don't have mass popular support.
You mean like the mass popular support that Bush had from his "Coalition of the Willing. Who were they again? Let's see:

Afghanistan, Albania, Australia, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Colombia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, El Salvador, Eritrea, Estonia, Ethiopia, Georgia, Hungary, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, the Netherlands, Nicaragua, the Philippines, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Turkey, United Kingdom and Uzbekistan.

Ah, yes. Some very notable players on the world stage there! And it's not as if any of them were offered bribes (oh, sorry, "financial support packages") to encourage them to sign up...!

Their methods vary and homicidal murder is their favourite m.o.
Hmm, is the same as using cluster bombs in civilian areas, or perhaps the bombing of water, sewerage and power infrastructure in the first Gulf War?

Are you going to contribute some hard cash to London police to help pay for the anti-Bush rent a mob protests?
Well, actually I am being *FORCED* to contribute hard cash to the London Police because a proportion of the five million pound cost is coming out of *MY* taxes!

And who exactly is "renting" this "mob" for the protests? As far as I am aware, those who are protesting are private citizens who wish to express their disagreement with the illegal policies and actions of the US (and UK) governments, not from any "anti-democratic" purpose, but *FOR* democratic purposes, something which certain people seem to have overlooked.
