Spike Lee condemns Bush 
 
Spike Lee has condemned President Bush's policy on Iraq, reports the BBC. 
Lee also praised the French and German governments during his appearance at the Berlin Film Festival. 
Edward Norton, who is the lead actor in Lee's latest film, joined in by saying he isn't proud of George Bush's stance on the Iraq issue. 
Spike Lee, whose 25th Hour is about New York post-September 11, said: "The German and French governments should be commended. 
"Too many people are being bowled over by Bush and Tony Blair in Britain. It's ludicrous to expect the whole world to follow what they want." 
Lee added: "America doesn't have the moral right to tell other people what to do. To say the whole world has to fall into line is you-know-what. I hope more people will rise up." 
Edward Norton, added: "It's nice being in Europe this week. Almost everyone in Germany and France is in sync with the governments. I almost forgot what it's like to be proud of my government."

Where was Spike Lee during Bill Clinton's military misadventures?
