1. Other countries get leaders that are eloquent, educated, well read,
well spoken, have a sense of international class, etc. etc.

2. Spain and Italy have had...
...formal public ceremonies honoring their Fallen Heroes. Very touching.

bush* dishonors our war dead by sneaking them in in the middle of the night and hiding them all the way to their quiet graves.

Dishonorable men* aren't capable of Honor! That is why bush* hides.

4. Reporters? Do not make this Comparison!!!!!!!
Such job doing will inevitably be viewed as evildoing by those with the power to stunt your ambition to have John King's job! Plus it would require both analysis and synthesis and who would want to have to do that?
