Okay, so it’s a no-brainer that one of the most powerful nations at present is America and George W. Bush, being its president, inevitably makes him one of the most powerful persons on earth.

At present, the world is having two major wars – in Afghanistan and Iraq. But is this really an inevitable war between or among countries or is it a war that America wanted and started? What exactly is the role of the US in these difficult times?

U.S. to Militarize Africa?

There are concerns running about that the Unites States is moving to build military bases in Africa. President Bush tried suppressing those claims by calling it “baloney.”

A Tanzanian newspaper had a headline declaring that Bush came to “militarize” Africa.

“The purpose of this (visit) is not to add military bases,” Bush said in a press conference. “I know there’s rumors in Ghana: ‘All Bush is coming to do is try to convince you to put a big military base here.’ That’s baloney. Or as we say in Texas, that’s bull.”
