Excellent sentiments, but you posted this as though George Bush were the author of what is your own vanity post.

Borrowing another's pedigree kind of destroys the credibility of the post, doncha think?

The first three paragraphs are Wolfstar's own. At the end of the third, he says "[Begin Excerpt]". Then excerpts of the President's remarks follow, SNIPPED in places, with Wolfstar's editorial comments.

Yes, it could have been put together a bit better, but it's obvious that he tried, and that he didn't intend to pass off his remarks as the President's. If you'll check the link to the website, you'll see that the remarks that Wolfstar posted are the President's. (I didn't read them all, but the one or two that I was looking for were there.)

I've never seen a definition of what constitutes a "vanity" post. However, the above is a lengthy EXERPT from the speech given by George W. Bush to the United Nations on 9/12/02. (I did give some thought to whether or not to put the President's name in as "author," since, technically speaking, his speechwriters wrote the piece. But he gave it, and in that respect, he is the author.)

As for my own interspersed commentary, it is clearly marked with [Ed. note:].

So, while I do welcome constructive criticism, with all due respect, yours may be well-meant, but is mistaken.
