The Most Powerless Man in the World is an opinion piece by the Berlin bureau chief of Spiegel Online on an interview Bush gave to a German TV presenter.
'.....For some time now, the president has become an observer of his own political decline. .....Bush is running out of time, and not just because the end of his term is approaching. He knows it as well as anyone. .....For many of these people (in Iraq), tyranny has simply been replaced by terrorism. That's something Bush can't deny and that's what makes him seem so powerless.'
