Is the role of the US President according to the US Constitution to end tyranny on planet earth and to forcibly baptize as Christians from Methodist Texas all temporary tenants of planet earth - all 6,000,000,000?
Is this a clear political mandate to someone who won by about 3% of the vote (which is pretty close to 50%/50%)?
What gives any American president the right to impose his will on the other ~ 199 countries/whatever on planet earth without their permission?
Other?

Brits Mock Bush Inauguration
Thu Jan 20 2005
Editors of major London newspapers wasted no time mocking President Bush's inauguration address.
Assorted splash headlines will greet readers on Friday morning:
"BUSH: HAVE I GOT NUKES FOR YOU, George Bush pledged all-out global war on terrorists and tyrants," headlines the STAR.
"POMP AND CIRCUMSTANCE, The band played Hail to the Chief. A 21-gun salute sounded. Then, protected by a bullet-proof shield, President George Bush repeated his message to the enemies of democracy," screams the INDEPENDENT.

The TELEGRAPH slapped: "DEFIANT BUSH DOESN'T MENTION THE WAR, President George W Bush began his second term in unapologetic style yesterday, pledging to maintain his muscular foreign policy and spread freedom "to the darkest corners of the world."
The TIMES rips: "HIS SECOND-TERM MISSION: TO END TYRANNY ON EARTH, Four years ago he was the Accidental President, scion of a ruling family propelled into the highest office more by genetics and duty than by political zeal and ideological mission."
The GUARDIAN: "SMILES FOR THE FAMILY, A FIERY WARNING FOR THE WORLD."
