UNITED NATIONS (AP) - President Bush announced new sanctions Tuesday against the military dictatorship in Myanmar, accusing it of imposing “a 19-year reign of fear” that denies basic freedoms of speech, assembly and worship.

“Americans are outraged by the situation in Burma,” the president said in an address to the U.N. General Assembly. Now called Myanmar, the Asian country also is known as Burma.

Bush also urged other nations to support the struggle for democracy in Afghanistan, Iraq and Lebanon.

“The people of Lebanon and Afghanistan and Iraq have asked for our help, and every civilized nation has a responsibility to stand with them,” Bush said.

While the war in Iraq continues, Bush made scant mention of it. Similarly, he barely mentioned Iran, a nation the United States accuses of terrorism, pursuit of a nuclear weapon and assistance for insurgents who are killing U.S. troops in Iraq.

Instead, Bush focused his remarks elsewhere, challenging the U.N. to uphold its pledge to fight for freedom in lands of poverty and terror.

Bush Urges U.N. to Spread Freedom

Ahhh the dreams of a delusional President…

Mr. Bush, you do realize that before the U.N. can uphold its pledge to fight for freedom in lands of poverty and terror they must first give up their designs of being the biggest and most successful perpetrators of rape, robbery and murder worldwide don’t you??

Of course he doesn’t accept that accusation and observation, how can he?? If Mr. Bush were to criticize his friends at the U.N., they may suspend his membership in the Global Domination and One World Government Club…

Can’t have that now can we??
