During the George W. Bush administration, Dick Cheney was often seen as a villain by many Democrats. As Vice President, Cheney was widely believed to be the real power behind the throne. Democrats blamed him for the invasion of Iraq, for policies such as rendition and waterboarding, and for various other humanitarian concerns. They accused Cheney and Bush of war crimes and labeled their foreign policy as imperialistic. Cheney was frequently compared to Darth Vader, the iconic villain from the Star Wars franchise who leads the empire and embraces the dark side.
