Where was the disclaimer that bush's speech doesn't apply to our allies Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Pakistan, Turkmenistan and to a lesser extent Russia, where freedom and liberty are virtually non-existent?
or is this administartion supporting a people's revolution in these lands?
Bush did say that he and the US will "stand by those seeking freedom" didn't he?
my favorite misstatement in the speech was this whopper:
Quote:
|
From the day of our founding, we have proclaimed that every man and woman on this Earth has rights, and dignity and matchless value because they bear the image of the maker of heaven and Earth.
|
guess he and his speechwriter forgot about all those slaves who had no "rights" or "dignity" for almost 100 years after our founding. or those women who didn't get their right to vote until 150 years after our founding.
