"I'm absolutely convinced that some day, 50 or 60 years from now, an American president will be speaking to an audience saying, thank goodness a generation of Americans rose to the challenge and helped people be liberated from tyranny," Bush said. "Democracy spread and the world is more peaceful for it," he added.
THIS sounds more like the President. The other sounded as though he was defensive and concentrated entirely on himself. I'm sure that was unintentional by the writer. [sarcasm]
I'm not certain when he'll get the due he deserves. Reagan only got a taste twenty years later, and he died before that happened. G.W.B. could live 40 years and I suspect so long as he lives they will do everything in their power to deny him credit even when the M.E. is the tourist destination of the world. I am confident in time he will be remembered well. I'm confident most other politicians during this time will not be.
Good catch but if you follow the link, that's the exact headline used.
