I've heard it said that President Bush has been reading VDH's writing. I hope he's listening. Perhaps he just doesn't feel he has the support of his nation yet in doing what absolutely must be done.
You never know why leaders in a free republic are doing this or that. We have to speak our mind anyway.
I hope you find this to be a valuable lesson in freedom. One doesn't stay free by kowtowing to anyone.
Hopefully he read this one.
