George W. Bush - Avatar of Liberty

Johnathan R. at GOP Bloggers brings attention to the following news report from Azerbaijan:

About 10,000 opposition protesters chanted "Freedom!" and carried pictures of President Bush as they marched across Azerbaijan's capital Saturday, urging the government of this U.S. ally to step down and allow free parliamentary elections this year.


In anticipation of an in kind response from the left similar to their response to the Lebananese rally demanding an end to Syrian occupation (that has already taken place) which they vociferously denied had anything to do with liberation of Iraq or George W. Bush I present the following photo from Publius Pundit with accompanying text:



Some 10,000 anti-government protestors rallied in the capital of oil-rich Azerbaijan calling for regime change in the former Soviet republic on Saturday.

In the first opposition rally not to have been crushed by police since 2003 presidential polls ended in violence, protestors carried signs with the phrase “we want freedom” superimposed onto portraits of US president George W.
Bush.


The Azeri government has, in the past few weeks, really cracked down on opposition leaders and arrested hundreds of people.

So while the mainstream media in this country desperately attempts to turn Iraq into Vietnam by showing only our set backs and rarely if ever even acknowledging our successes, they have no influence over peoples affected by oppressive rule that have been inspired by our success in Iraq and Afghanistan and the free elections that same success has afforded those we have have liberated.
