Ah, my friend, you forget, or neglect - - -
to see that Bush is only in the 3rd year of his regime. You would need to compare him to other dictators at that stage, when they were consolidating their power.
You're saying he's not like someone who was in the, say, 10th or 12th year.
What were those other guys like in the early years? Hadn't even started to invade other countries. Your guy is a bit ahead of the game, as they say.
And you don't even try to dispute the facts. If your guy doesn't like the comparisons, he shouldn't act like them other guys.
