tyranny at home and abroad

[Jon Ford]

For once, I sort of agree with Michael: tyranny is tyranny, and if that is 
the mind-set of a ruler and his junta, it will be reflected simultaneously  
both in domestic and foreign policy. Bush's government has always been 
tyrannical and anti-rights, as seen in his cabinet choices and advisory 
circle. 9/11 was an attack from without, which Bush and Company used as an 
excuse to attack civil rights as well as to push their already tyrannical 
and exploitive  Middle Eastern agenda  much further.
