Subtleties

Any good President knows there are subtle differences between two countries, even if they're in the same region. Dubya, for instance, is well aware that just because something might be good for one state - say, Lebanon - that doesn't mean you should go around applying it to other places (did I hear someone say 'Iraq'?).

So it should come as no surpise that W the Wise dropped the following while urging Syria to withdraw its forces from Lebanon:

"I don't think you can have fair elections under foreign occupation."
