Chris and David Frum talking and even FRUM is missing the import of that passage about Iran.

Bush specifically said he was speaking to the Iranian PEOPLE when he reiterated:

"When you stand for your freedom, we will stand with you".

Now. Go back to the inaugural.
Bush said those very same words. And when he said it at the inaugural, he looked directly into the camera...it was the ONLY time that day he did that.

And now tonight, he did it again, except he singled out the PEOPLE of Iran.

HE'S CALLING FOR REVOLUTION IN IRAN!

That is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Exactly the way I took it to mean.

"Awesome" is not a trite expression tonight. You're right, Iranians will get this message.....and so will the King of Syria!!!!

Agreeing with your interpretation.

...wound my heart with a monotonous languor...

Krauthammer just made the same point.
