If you dont understand the question, its because there is a block. Tyrant is an unelected ruler, an opressor, a harsh and bad person to the people he rules.

A Tyrant does not have to call himself President. He can call himself Saviour Of The Iraqi People if he likes or just modestly Bush.

And a president does not have to be a Tyrant either. Tyrant is a class of its own. And its traits are : Absolute ruler and Vicious oppressor. So that is a lead is it not

Yea invited! Bush was in there BEFORE Iraq had its new Poppet President. How does that invitation work. Someone goes into your appartment, throws you out and moves his friend in and gets his friend to invite him back in and its all legal! Cool. Im stupid.

You are absolutely right. As the overall guy in charge of that country he is the ruler. Unelected at that.

Bush isn't the President of Iraq.
The U.S. is a foreign power occupying Iraq. As such, it has responsibilities under the Geneva Conventions. That's why we have to continue the fight in Iraq. We have a legal obligation to finish what we started. And other countries are breaking international law by interfering (e.g. Iran).
Saddam was a tyrant. He was not elected. He took power in a bloody coup in 1979 where he had Parliament members hauled out by the police he controlled, thrown in jail and summarily shot dead. He had terror police running roughshod over the nation, killing thousands. He had honor police that would rape girls in front of their fathers and mothers. He ruled with absolute power and killed his political opponents.
That's a tyrant. A tyrant is an absolute ruler who abuses power.
Bush is not a tyrant. He was elected. He has limited powers. He does not control the police. He can and is criticized in the most vile and aweful ways every day, and people have the freedom to do that. He will not be president after 2008, and a new president will be elected.
And, you compare the two? Are you high?
You correctly noted that a tyrant is an absolute ruler. Since Bush does not have that kind of power, he is not a tyrant. End of discussion. You may not like him. You may think he's the worst ever. But, that doesn't make him a tyrant, or anything like Saddam Hussein. Look at it this way - in the US, you can call Bush a tyrant to his face and get away with it. In the old days in Iraq, do that to Hussein and you'd be killed.

Basically if you think about it, a little over 3000 USA soldiers have been killed. The bombs that you people are getting from Iran are being used against your own. Consider how many of your own people have died. Also remember Iran has one huge axe to grind with Iraq for the war. Do you people honestly think it is forgotten? You think Bush is a tyrant, give the president of Iran a chance. He will show you what a real tyrant is.

Reggie Bush is not a tyrant He plays for the Saints and has nothing to do with Iraq. And George Bush was elected, so he is not a tyrant either.
