In Translation

Bush’s Second Inagural Address:

All Americans have witnessed this idealism, and some for the first time. I ask our youngest citizens to believe the evidence of your eyes. You have seen duty and allegiance in the determined faces of our soldiers. You have seen that life is fragile, and evil is real, and courage triumphs. Make the choice to serve in a cause larger than your wants, larger than yourself – and in your days you will add not just to the wealth of our country, but to its character.

    Bush did what needed to be done. Don’t criticize him for it, no one else would have done any better.

    Odd place to stick this comment — would work better in a place that directly (instead of indirectly) concerns either the push for the war [the first sentence] or the waging of the war [second half of second sentence.)
