I'd say a great speech. Knows his audience, and how to disarm them.

I think he anticipated all the lefty expectations well. Interesting the focus and centering of the speech on Russia from the start - effective on different levels.
This speech was so little reported in the U.S., in favor of coverage of professional protestors. I think the media just doesn't understand subtleties, diplomacy, and what's happening with us and Russia - except some trashing. Like to see a poll from Germany about Bush now. Knighthawk, was the speech broadcast?

The press in the Netherlands questioned if Bush his words could convince a lot of people to enter the war on terror.

"We have a duty to share our wealth..." No, we don't.

Great speech, but those stinky Europeans were protesting our President (BTW, does anyone know if Clinton attended-flag burning and all?). Gosh, If the Euro-loosers were to have a terrorist attack like our 9/11, I bet all of a sudden Bush would look like a great friend to have. I am so sick of the American bashing crap going on over there.

I'd say a magnificent speech. I was moved just reading it here.

Yes, excellent speach, but it remains to see how the prejudiced Euro-weenies respond.
