    What If . . . salonistas were given some Truth?

    I quoted that speech, including (if I recall) that passage, extensively in my second book. So -- just as you imply -- I'm really trying to suppress it.

    Of course, like all politicians, the fact that George Bush said he'd do something and promised to adhere to a certain principle means that that's exactly what he did. A politician's words always match their actions -- especially George Bush's. That quote really settles what the War on Terror is all about. Great point.
