"We did not ask for this mission, yet there is honor in history's call. We have a chance the write the story or our times, a story of courage defeating cruelty and light overcoming darkness. This calling is worthy of any life and worthy of every nation.

One of the best lines in any speech in recent memory. This man is just incredible. The speech should be printed in toto in every major newspaper and read in every class room.

Agreed!!

Truly, this must be the best speech ever delivered during our lifetimes, a speech for the ages.

Looks like I will get a chance to see it in 45 minutes, but the transcript says enough already. George W. Bush has guts, and guts are exactly what are needed right now. He could have made the basic point without mentioning the Human Rights Commission. But he had another point, at this particular moment the UN has no moral authority with us. The President knows where he is going and if the UN wants to lift itself up fine, but not required for his plans.

Let me just add, I was not an early Bush supporter back a million years ago during the primaries. But I saw him at a campaign rally and fell in love. He had enormous charisma and a unique ability to understand the longings after 8 years of Clinton. From that day on I have said that he was a sleeping giant, though I could have never imagined these times. He has yet to let me down.
