A new resolution introduced in the US Senate offers political backing to the Bush administration by slamming a United Nations effort to exert more influence over the Internet. At the heart of this international political spat is the unique influence that the US federal government enjoys over Internet addresses and the master database of top-level domain names - a legacy of the Internet's origins years ago. The Bush administration recently raised objections to the proposed addition of .xxx as a red-light district for pornographers, for instance, a veto power that no other government is able to wield.

Umm, no.
Some of Saddam's accomplishments are really pretty impressive - except for the fact that he IS evil. He doesn't give a crap if millions of people die.
On the other hand, Bush has done basically nothing in his life except coast off his father's wealth and fame. But I'd still rather have Bush, who is incompetent but good-hearted than Saddam, who is much more competent but evil.
If you want to compare Bush to someone try a Saudi Prince or the French President.
