AP:
MONTPELLIER, France - A British man named Eric Bush has taken a dramatic step to protest the U.S.-led war in Iraq — he's changed his name.
Bush, a 72-year-old retiree living in Jonquieres in southern France, says he was "ashamed" to bear the same name as President Bush. His surname was officially changed Friday to Buisson, the French word for bush.
