That's the first intelligent thing David's ever said--and it was a paraphrase.
Translation: "Muslims have a different plan--an Islamic theocracy with the Koran as the constitution and the shariah as national law. If democracy can exist in that context, fine; if it can't, to hell with it."
Every mischaracterization imaginable. All over the globe Tyrants and their running dogs howl at the moon in response to Bush's great speech.

"We pass over the silly remarks of the President; for the credit of the nation we are willing that the veil of oblivion shall be dropped over them and that they shall no more be repeated or thought of."--The Harrisburg Patriot"The cheeks of every American must tingle with shame as he reads the silly, flat, and dishwatery utterance."--The Chicago Times
"[T]he ceremony was rendered ludicrous by some of the sallies of that poor President Lincoln... Anything more dull and commonplace it would not be easy to produce."--the Times of London
"We had grown so accustomed to homely and imperfect phrase in his productions that we had come to think it was the law of his utterance."--the Springfield, Illinois, Republican
You mean Clinton and Carter?

It's that "freedom" thing, yanno. Explain your reasons for what you do or think, and the other guy has the FREEDOM to evaluate for himself.
Why is this so hard for these Euroweenies to understand?
"Critics who were hoping that he would get mired in detail about Iraq were mistaken."His critics are typically mistaken.
"Instead he went back to basics, reaching out to the belief of most Americans in the fundamental importance of freedom and using that to explain his policies at home and abroad."An explanation that comforts and resounds with the wise and decent people of the world (most of us).
"At times it sounded more like a sermon than a speech."Yes, rather like the Gettysburg Address.
"Mr Bush may not be much of a speaker. But sometimes the message is more important than eloquence..."Correction: The message is always more important than eloquence.
"...and what he had to say yesterday had the power of real conviction."Exactly.
Wise words from Ireland's Irish Independent
Yes! These people at La Razon got the message, but they didn't understand it.
In fact, they said it better than Bush did--and more laconically. Too bad it's beyond their comprehension (and it really isn't difficult to comprehend).
An even better paraphrase is this:
"For the people of the world, there is a choice: liberty or oppression."
...And Europe, if it accedes, will be one of the main beneficiaries.
Good post. I knew this reaqction was coming. " F/'em, we're going in"!
"The crisis we are facing today does not require of us the kind of sacrifice that Martin Treptow and so many thousands of others were called upon to make. It does require, however, our best effort, and our willingness to believe in ourselves and to believe in our capacity to perform great deeds; to believe that together, with God's help, we can and will resolve the problems which now confront us. And, after all, why shouldn't we believe that? We are Americans.
God bless you, and thank you."

Iran Loans Cuba $26 Million
Turkish Press
Jan 22nd, 05
Iran is loaning cash-strapped Cuba $26 Million.
The loan is part of a bilateral cooperation agreement between the two countries covering key areas such as banking, farming and biotechnology.
Cuba's state-run newspaper Granma Friday reported details of the agreement.
The newspaper says Iran will offer Cuba assistance and equipment to help it fight the effects of a drought plaguing the eastern portion of the island.
In return, Havana will help Tehran build a biotechnology factory to produce hepatitis B vaccines and Cuban-engineered medicines to treat heart and kidney disease.
Iran's official news agency IRNA hailed Iranian-Cuban relations, and said the agreement paves the way for further joint economic cooperation between the two nations.
The United States has accused Iran of running a secret nuclear weapons program, and has recently tightened a long-standing economic embargo on Cuba.
