Welcome to India Mr. Bush! But we can do without you!

As the Government of India lays out a red carpet for this madman of the millenium, I’d like to mark my protest by just penning down my thoughts in my own blog.. There isn’t much I’d like to talk about the mighty Mr. Bush. But the way our Government goes behind him wagging their tails like stray dogs going after a piece of meat ( despite knowing that its rotten!) is sick and defies all reason. I’ll let Mr. Bush talk for himself. Over to Mr. George Bush Jr.
