Bush urged not to trample human rights in terror war

BUDAPEST, Hungary -- President Bush, celebrating the 50th anniversary of Hungary's bloody revolt against communist rule in this Eastern Europe nation, was urged today to make sure the U.S. fight against terrorism doesn't stomp on human rights.

"I am here to celebrate the 1956 revolution ... a revolution that celebrated the notion that all men and women should be free," Bush said standing with Hungarian President Laszlo Solyom in a gilded room with red brocade walls at the Sandor Palace.

Solyom paid tribute to his country's difficult emergence from communist rule and pledged to stand with America in today's battle against terrorism. Yet he said Hungary's commitment to democracy requires a respect for human rights.

"The fight against terror can be successful only if every steps taken are in line with international law," Solyom said through a translator.

1. Why do people even try anymore?

I mean, does anyone think that Bush actually listens to other world leaders? Or anyone outside his staff, for that matter?

and anyone's opinion other than his own.

7. In another post

It was said that all during his speech he received no applause. About time that he had to answer to a non handpicked audience. The other countries know how he treats human rights so he can't get away with it there like he does in the US.
