"The attacks that followed -- on Bali, Jakarta, Casablanca, Bombay, Mombassa, Najaf, Jerusalem, Riyadh, Baghdad, and Istanbul -- were not dreams."When he rattled these off, it was both somber and chilling. He slowed down effectively and deliberately for each attacked city. It was like the old NBC radio announcers in the Pacific rattling off the Asian cities that had fallen, one by one, under the Emperor's troops. One wonders, "when/where will it END?"

Yes. From the tenor of the comments accompanying the 'Live' thread, it was definitely a keeper (nope, I didn't get it in real time, either!).

Bush sucked up to his muslim friends way too much, by spanking Milosevic in this speech,as if the "victims" of ethnic cleansing in the balkans are only muslims.
Minus Bush's over-patronizing comments on islam, it was an o.k. speech.

How about using a reverse scale of sorts, i.e. the more the media ignore or detractors dismiss his talk, the higher the ranking he gets in terms of reaching average hearts and minds....

Oh, I dunno - he banged on Muslims indirectly on behalf of the rights of women. And Islam will likely take offense at his use of 'Pillars' to lay the foundations for peace. I imagine that Muslims will lay claim to some kind of exclusive use of the term.
In my reading, there were plenty of blame to go around, plus some softening blows. For instance, the French have to look on this section...
"It's been said that those who live near a police station find it hard to believe in the triumph of violence. In the same way, free peoples might be tempted to take for granted the orderly societies we have come to know.
"Europe's peaceful unity is one of the great achievements of the last half century. And because European countries now resolve differences through negotiation and consensus, there's sometimes an assumption that the entire world functions in the same way.
"But let us never forget how Europe's unity was achieved: by Allied armies of liberation and NATO armies of defense."
... as a huge, condescending slam.
