By now you have probably read georgia10's diary, "What the fuck is WRONG with this picture???" expressing righteous outrage about the Bush Adminstration refusing to receive the letter from Congressman Conyer's regarding the Downing Street minutes signed by over 500,000 American citizens and well over 100 members of Congress.

On the same day he refuses to acknowledge the American people and Congress, Bush says the following about the Iranian elections.
"The Iranian people deserve a genuinely democratic system in which elections are honest --
and in which their leaders answer to them instead of the other way around," Bush said in a statement released by the White House Thursday. "And to the Iranian people, I say: As you stand for your own liberty, the people of America stand with you."
"Iran is ruled by men who suppress liberty at home and spread terror across the world," Bush said. "Power is in the hands of an unelected few who have retained power through an electoral process that ignores the basic requirements of democracy. The June 17th presidential elections are sadly consistent with this oppressive record."
Hypocrite!
Substitute the word American and America for Iranian and Iran, Mr Bush.
How can the US "support freedom and democracy around the world" when you suppress it here at home.
