Shuck Bush

November 26, 2007

Three heads of countries that allied with Bush for the Iraq war have now been voted out of office or resigned. The Prime Minister of Australia, John Howard, José María Aznar of Spain who also backed the U.S. and Tony Blair, who stepped down as Britain’s prime minister in June. That is what is happening to those who followed Bush’s lead to war. As soon as the official results are in Howard will be the first sitting prime minister to lose his seat since 1929.

Kevin Rudd, the new Labor Party leader in Australia and a former diplomat says that he will be negotiating the withdrawal of Australia’s 500 troops from Iraq. No matter what gains the administration states are taking place in Iraq, a lull in violence in Baghdad, which allowed people to walk about on a sunny Friday, was shattered by 2 bombs in a bird market that killed 13 and wounded 57. The decline in violence may not last. Of the foreign fighters who came to Iraq in the past year, 60 percent were from Libya and Saudi Arabia. I believe that the removal of U.S. military in Iraq will lessen the violence there.
