We don't want the organ grinder, but we don't want his monkey, either
Here are some excerpts of an article Iread regarding what is awaiting George Bush in London during his state visit to Britain:
"He's the least welcomed guest these shores have seen since William the Conqueror," says Scottish independent MP George Galloway, referring to the Norman warrior king who conquered England in 1066.
One stunt designed to exhibit such feelings is to take place in Trafalgar Square, where a six-metre-high, papier-mâché statue of Bush holding a cruise missile will be toppled.
"It will be like the toppling of Saddam Hussein's statue in Baghdad during the war," says protest organizer Ghada Razuki. "The big difference is that we will have 100,000 people bringing it down and cheering it on, whereas the Americans could barely muster up 200 Iraqis."
"...Americans have to realize that Bush's policies have managed to alienate even the people who are, historically, their strongest allies. He hopes the images will encourage Americans to "rescue the world" and vote Bush out of office. And if they help the British people do the same with Blair, then all the better.
