Semantics aside, the speech struck the right tone. Bush's message was that freedom itself was the antitdote to terrorism, not just our military might. Bush IS the ideological heir to Ronaldus Magnus.
The other thing that the nitpickers misunderstood was that Bush was not talking about accomplishing all of that during his Presidency alone. He was talking about the principles and end goals that would guide his decisions. He was not saying that he was going to end all tyranny within four years.
Well said, and I agree with you.
