The 'Bush Fire' that was ignited by the controversial US presidential election, 2000, in Florida spread to Afghanistan in 2001, turned wild in Iraq in 2002 and has now engulfed the whole world. The US ballots have been converted into US bullets, democracy has become a mockery and slavery has replaced liberty.

US President George Bush has cooked up concocted stories, manufactured lies, raised a hue and cry, killed thousands of innocent Afghan and Iraqi men, women and children in his bid to capture Osama bin Laden and to destroy the alleged weapons of mass destruction.

The USA in league with Israel, the UK and other sycophants has resorted to state terrorism world wide and the victims of the state terrorism have been compelled to unleash stateless terrorism and launch suicide bomb attacks to retaliate and avenge the crimes against humanity.

And so from time to time the streets of Jerusalem, Gaza Strip, West Bank, Tel-Aviv, New York, Washington, Kabul, Baghdad, Bali, Karachi, Istanbul, Casablanca, Jeddah, Kuwait and Madrid are littered with dead bodies. One does not know how and when the bloodbath would come to an end.

If the US President George Bush is re-elected in the US presidential election 2004, the situation in the world would further deteriorate and become more volatile. Would the US president continue to add fuel to the fire? Who on earth can extinguish the inferno?
