Every once in a while I can string a few words together that have meaning but nothing like the words put together for President Bush. Those beautiful words that he so eloquently delivered on Saturday have somehow been attributed to me.
Those in the military, by and large, were "educated" in the same government schools that afflicted nearly all of us. And which have become exactly what the Prussians of 150 years ago -- their intellectual sparks -- urged them to be: places of indoctrination to be "good," obedient, submissive citizens.
I wish I could believe him. I'm not counting on it.
