November 7, 2003 -- 'Sixty years of Western nations excusing and accommodating the lack of freedom in the Middle East did nothing to make us safe, because in the long run stability cannot be purchased at the expense of liberty."

White House.gov has the video of the speech if anyone missed it.

Probably the best speech I have seen him give other than those right after September 11. I want my husband to hear it, so thanks for reminding me it's on the White House web site.

This is a good video with proper audio,unlike some one finds on the net.

I loved the backhand he gave the euroweenies. :) How can so many people be so wrong and so often? Yet they keep convincing themselves that they are morally superior. Sour grapes?

I wish he would add term limits to the benefits of democracy. The last things these countries need is a horrible man like Karzai in power till he dies.

Thanks for posting. I did miss the speech and had only heard the quoted excerpts which the news media had felt obligated to display.

Awesome speech, possibly the best in Bush's presidency.

Thanks.

You're welcome.
