GeorgeBush is trying to do something that can never be done. KingCanute is a metaphor for exactly this activity. You cannot point a gun at someone's head and make them free. You must point their eyes at a book, instead... or a wiki.

What would a NewIslam be? How would it help matters? --MarnenLaibowKoser, 13 Dec 2012 ---- CategoryWorldView
