ISLAMABAD (Reuters)

Pakistan's main opposition leader accused U.S. President George W. Bush on Saturday of using the war on terror for political gain and to pursue an anti-Muslim agenda.

Pro-Taliban Islamic leader Fazal-ur-Rehman told a protest rally of a few hundred people that the United States and Bush had used the "sad" day of Sept. 11, 2001 in a "barbaric" way to wage war against Muslims across the world.

"Bush is creating fear and insecurity in the minds of American people too, to prolong his rule," said Rehman. "But the American people are now realising that his stance was wrong." ..

4. "But the American people are now realising..."

Wow, this stuck out at me. This sounds AMAZINGLY like what we say when talking about an "axis-of-evil" (barf) foreign dictatorship on the verge of revolt. It really brings home the fact that we probably do appear as an evil dictatorship to folks overseas. Hell, to folks here at home for that matter.

Our foreign policy of Psychotic Den Mother meets Playground Bully doesn't help either.
