Mandela called Mr Bush "a president who can't think properly and wants to plunge the world into holocaust".

Mandela speaks out;
"If you look at those matters, you will come to the conclusion that the attitude of the United States of America is a threat to world peace
It is clearly a decision that is motivated by George W Bush's desire to please the arms and oil industries in the United States of America."

He also said UK Prime Minister Tony Blair was in fact the "US foreign minister".

"Why does the United States behave so arrogantly?" Mr Mandela asked.
"Their friend Israel has got weapons of mass destruction but because it's their ally they won't ask the United Nations to get rid of them.
"They just want the oil," Mr Mandela went on. "We must expose this as much as possible."

Mandela called Mr Bush "a president who can't think properly and wants to plunge the world into holocaust".
He said war "would be devastating not just to Iraq but also to the whole of the Middle East and to other countries of the world".
-----------------

SO much support for peace, but so little chance of peace.
SO many of Bush cronies are involved in the arms industry, as well as oil.
US spends as much as the next 20 countries worldwide, on defence! there's no point spending it if you're not going to use it.
War to arms industry is like Christmas to a toy shop.
War will not stop with Iraq. Non-stop war = bigger and bigger defence budgets = bigger profits for the boys.
It's a simple ploy. All you need is the power. The system is in place, just give the orders. The system is working a treat. The challenge to change it is the most important challenge facing anyone interested in humanity. It would be a long term project. Many would be needed, to devote some of their time and energy on a regular basis to UNITING TO CHANGE THE SYSTEM. Everyone could continue their work on their own particular party/group/interest/action etc.

All Bush wants now is to be re-elected. It's the only thing he cares about.

I have never seen anybody with a more stupid looking head than Bush pretending to be grief-stricken at the deaths of seven astronauts.
