PARIS, Feb 26: Curtis Roosevelt, the grandson of America’s great wartime president Franklin Delano Roosevelt, says that as far as he’s concerned, President George W Bush is nothing less than a bully, “He makes you think of those young brawlers forever looking for a fight.”

A former official of the United Nations who has since retired with his British wife to the south of France, Curtis Roosevelt likes to reminisce about life in the White House with his grandfather FDR, and point out to listeners how America’s current president has absolutely nothing to do with Franklin, the man who won the world’s admiration for spending four terms in office (1932-1945).

With regard to a war with Iraq, Curtis Roosevelt says he’s not convinced that, in spite of all the brouhaha that’s been made about America’s war might, the United States possesses indeed the means with which to wage a successful war.

“That’s one problem that has to be faced, then, perhaps more importantly, there’s what is to come after. The real problem, indeed, for George W Bush, is what is to happen once the war is over, if indeed it is over as quickly as he says it will be. What is he going to do about reconstruction? Has he thought yet about what he’s going to really do with the oil, how he’s going to go about making a choice between the country’s Shias and its Sunnis?”
