Bush is standing firm. And his "axis of evil speech" is a close parallel to Reagan's "evil empire speech."
Note that Bush used these words after the clinton administration outlawed the use of the term "rogue states," and substituted PC euphemisms for the unvarnished truth.
Like Reagan, too, Bush is soft-spoken, polite, and gentlemanly, but always firm and straightforward. What Bush lacks, perhaps, is Reagan's gift for speaking. Bush speaks well, but he is not quite so moving as a speaker. His voice is higher and somewhat lacking in resonance--which is hardly a moral failure!
Yes, but Bush has continued to say that Islam is a peaceful religion.
That's funny... "rogue states" is itself a euphemism (for "enemy").
And walks silently while carrying a big stick!
I would wager that "gray" is not Dubya's favorite color. : )

Mainstream Lebanese have surely had enough of Yasser Arafat's crap.
Syria...that French looking Pencil neck leader needs the scare of his life..his gangster state needs to end.

Afterwards....Europe will not matter so much anymore : )
