    La democrasserie

    The Bush administration has wanted war at a horrible expense not only for Americans but for the entire world community.

    The bloody everyday reports from Iraq, the unrest created in the whole region mirror how American democracy has changed into what Flaubert called "la démocrasserie", the abuse of power in the name of the people.

    Small minds in the White House toying with too much power - the game is clearly a case for the International War Crime Court at the Hague.
