Read the entire Inaugural Speech HERE. I was told by a writer friend that when you read the speech you will see how good it was. He was right. Another way of saying that Bush did not deliver it too well in the 18 degree vocal chord freezing temps. If you think the White House is still clueless, you are right. The speech is not posted there, you have to go to CBS or ABC. I'm still amazed that I voted for him, his staff is inexcusably lax. How's this for articulating policy?

For as long as whole regions of the world simmer in resentment and tyranny — prone to ideologies that feed hatred and excuse murder — violence will gather, and multiply in destructive power, and cross the most defended borders, and raise a mortal threat. There is only one force of history that can break the reign of hatred and resentment, and expose the pretensions of tyrants, and reward the hopes of the decent and tolerant, and that is the force of human freedom.

Read all of it. It's worth it.
