Bush's European Vacation
QUESTION: Mr. President, thank you very much for giving us the opportunity to talk to you. You're going to Europe, commemorating 60 years of liberation in Europe. You could have gone to many countries, why did you choose to go to Holland?
THE PRESIDENT: First of all, Holland was a stalwart, and the people of Holland were brave and courageous when it came to resisting tyranny. And a lot of people paid a heavy price for standing for freedom in the face of fascism. As well, many Americans lost their lives on Dutch soil. And it's an opportunity to praise those who fought, honor those who died, and remind people that there's more work to be done to make the world more free.
Q: About that, more work to be done, do you see any similarities about what happened 60 years ago, the Americans, among others, liberating Europe, and what you are doing now, in the Middle East, for example?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, it's a different situation, but there is evil in the world. There's always been evil. I believe that those who kill in the name of a great religion are evil people; people who are willing to destroy innocent life or bury people in mass graves, or starve people to death are evil. And I think the free world must confront evil. The last choice is to use the military. On the other hand, sometimes you have to.
And as you know, I made a difficult decision. Some in Europe didn't agree, some in Holland didn't agree, and I can understand that. But now we have an obligation, and a duty, it seems like to me, to work together to help others become free. Freedom is universal -- freedom shouldn't be just -- people shouldn't view freedom as only the purview of Americans or the Dutch or Europeans. Everybody deserves to be free.

Cringe.
He's also managed to make the Russians cringe, to put it mildly, and he hasn't even visited yet.

George Bush's Fascist Administration
Topic: spoon-in-his-nose -
spoon-in-his-nose Class War: - Even as George Bush ordered the weapons
inspectors to leave Iraq the inspectors were supervising the destruction
of Iraqi missiles. The inspection process was working. Diplomacy works.
Containment works...But war also works. War works for them. It works for
Boeing and it works for Halliburton. It works for Bush and got him elected
to a second term. War is the ultimate subversion. Innocent people will die
under the legal subterfuge of war. Winning this war is not the issue.
Death and destruction is the issue. Subversion of humanity is the issue.
That is the REAL "evil". Blowing up frogs is evil. Blowing up people is
evil. War is immoral and George Bush is evil.
