Pakistan censors poetic salute to Bush

by Isambard Wilkinson in Islamabad (12/05/2005)

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.
