Bangladesh is a beautiful country. The so-called extremists there are just as extreme in their views as Bush is with his view about democracy. Whats common with these extremists and Bush is that they all want democracy – the only thing diferent about Bangladeshi extremists and Bush is that Bush does not have what all these others do have – a bush on the chin.
