Their country, not ours

I just caught a minute of a Bush speech on C-Span... I'm not positive where he was but it had something to do with international cooperation and humanitarian aid.

In speaking of his expectations of the countries to whom the US gives money, he said that, in part, we expect "a fair and transparent legal system" and that we don't want to give money to countries in which the leader takes the money.

Uh...

Much like the idea of bringing democracy to Iraq while systematically removing rights in America, Bush seems to hold the rest of the world to higher standards than he holds himself.
