My take on the State of the Union

While, the final moments of the speech were admittedly...very touching (the mother of a fallen soldier embracing an Iraqi woman)...It is my hope that those final moments of the speech do not overshadow some of Bush's shaky comments during the speech. One of the most frustrating statements that Bush has made during his re-election campaign and again during the state of the union, is that somehow a great difference in our approach to spreading democracy and freedom with violence and force and the "terrorists" also violent approach. The idea that we have a mandate to spread "freedom" is a bit self-rewarding and self-serving. He said that "the United States has no right, no desire, and no intention to impose our form of government on anyone else." That could be the most bold-faced lie I have ever hear him say. It frustrates me so much...that i can write no more.
