Dear President Bush, I am living in a country ruled by an unelected monarchy.

It has vast wealth and riches and recently spent £4.5 million redecorating one of its palaces, of which there are many.

This money, of course, was taken from the taxpayer.

Meanwhile, in my country, the health system is in ruins, people live in fear of violence because the police are undermanned and many people go cold and hungry, living below the poverty line.

The wealthiest five per cent or so hold the power and there is little the rest of us can do.

Please come and invade and liberate us. We really do need help.
