What does a Nobel laureate say regarding the 'Dear Leader'? |
Published on Saturday, January 20, 2007 by Agence France Presse
Bush has Done 'Tremendous Damage', says Nobel Peace Prize Winner
US President George W. Bush is a terrible leader who has done tremendous
damage worldwide, Bangladeshi Nobel Peace Prize laureate Muhammad Yunus has
said in an interview.
"Bush is a terrible leader, not only for the United States but for the
entire world," Yunus, a 66-year-old micro-credit pioneer and "banker to the
poor", told El Mundo newspaper Saturday.
"He has led the world on a dangerous path and it will take a lot of time to
take it back on the right one," he was quoted as saying.
"Bush has caused tremendous damage. The cold war was over and with it all
this wasted energy and mistrust of so many years. We were speaking about the
dividends of peace," he added.
"And then the war on terror started and the vengeance and again all this
money was invested in war technology."
Asked by El Mundo about the responsibilities of the September 11, 2001
hijackers who flew passenger jets into targets in New York and Washington,
Yunus said they were "no saints, they are evil".
"What I'm saying is that the military response to terrorism is not a
solution."
Yunus and the Grameen Bank which he created have helped millions in
Bangladesh extricate themselves from poverty through tiny, collateral-free
loans.

It looks to me that he has the credibility that Bush doesn't. This guy has
brought millions out of poverty and Bush has put millions in poverty in Iraq
and Afghanistan. Bush has worked his little fingers to the bone enriching
warprofiteers while bilking U.S. taxpayers out of billions.

It sure isn't Nobel Peace Prize laureate Muhammad Yunus.

Incompetence Lead to Inflated Self-Assessments

ABSTRACT:
....the authors found that participants scoring in the bottom quartile
on tests of humor, grammar, and logic grossly overestimated their test
performance and ability. Although their test scores put them in the
12th percentile, they estimated themselves to be in the 62nd.
