But how will this affect recruiting for Bush Youth?

from the Telegraph: Pakistan censors poetic salute to Bush

A poem in a school textbook has been removed by embarrassed education officials in Pakistan after it was found that the first letters of each line spelt out "President George W Bush."

The 20-line anonymous poem, The Leader, lists the qualities of "a man who will do what he must" and bears a passing resemblance to Rudyard Kipling's If.

"Ever assuring he'll stand by his word/Wanting the world to join his firm stand/Bracing for war, but praying for peace/Using his power so evil will cease", run typical lines.

An education ministry spokesman said it had no idea who wrote the poem nor how it found its way into A Textbook of English for 16-year-olds last year.

The acrostic is highly embarrassing for President Pervez Musharraf, who is already under fire at home for being allegedly pro-American and supporting the US war against terrorism.

America has even donated money to transform Pakistan's national curriculum into something closer to western ideals.

The result is a much-lampooned US-friendly philosophy called "enlightened moderation" which America has agreed to pay to disseminate in schools.

And here I was thinking that the only connection between Pakistan and North Korea was nukes. But it sure looks like Dear Leader's Department of Hero Worship has been loaned out to our State Department to do a spit polish on our man Dubya for the benefit of the impressionable youth in this far-away land. Or perhaps Assrocket, Dame Judith and Armstrong Williams have formed a publishing house of their own....
