The reviled former President left behind at least one great legacy:
SOLDIERS, police, prisoners and displaced people cast early ballots today in provincial polls that will define Iraq's political landscape as US forces withdraw and Iraqi forces seek to defend a fragile calm.
Polls open to the general public on Saturday in the first Iraqi election since 2005....
Interestingly the Dali Lama likes Dubya:
"I love President George W Bush." He went on to add how he and the US President instantly struck a chord in their first meeting unlike politicians who take a while to develop close ties.
His Holiness has some words of wisdom on non-violence and terrorism too:
NEW DELHI: The Dalai Lama, a lifelong champion of non-violence on Saturday candidly stated that terrorism cannot be tackled by applying the
principle of ahimsa because the minds of terrorists are closed.
"It is difficult to deal with terrorism through non-violence," the Tibetan spiritual leader said delivering the Madhavrao Scindia Memorial Lecture here.
