IRAQIS TO CAST BUSH IN STONE

US President George Bushs head should be set in stone next to that of his father at the entrance to one of Baghdads top hotels so Iraqis can walk over them, a newspaper said this week, to make a family photo album which Iraqis can walk over to better ridicule them. This is what arrogant killers and criminals deserve. The newspaper was reacting to the US-British air strikes last Friday over Baghdad that officials said killed three civilians and wounded 30 others. Bush resembled a stupid mouse, son of a stinking rat, the paper said.
