Whose lies hurt more?

The Australian: Bob Brown: Whose lies hurt more? [July 29, 2004]: "Fahrenheit 9/11 has a signal scene in which Bush regales wealthy Republican donors with a toast to 'the haves and have-mores'. This, in a nation with 30million people too poor to access hospital care. It is an unforgettable scene where Bush exhibits his unfitness as president of a great nation, let alone as world leader.

One is left wondering how else the US might be. What if the President, instead of spending $60 billion extra per annum on armaments for Iraq, had set up a new Marshall Plan to feed, clothe and ensure schools for the world's 1 billion citizens living in abject poverty?
