Omar,
But I agree with the many analysts who also argue that much of the speech is
for internal consumption.With the economic difficulties America is
experiencing,the failure(defeat) in Iraq,it should not be difficult to
predict what lies ahead for the American moral.The Neo conservative
convinced with the believed that the Moral of the American is of
fundamental importance in sustaining the image America has and must continue
to build for her self in the outside world.To burst that moral,Americans
should be told that they are responsible for fighting the "evil" and "Spread
democracy" to the outside world.This make religious fanatics,like Bush,a
very useful "duff" for the noe -conservatives.
For Freedom

>>I find myself on line with the idea argued by Jurgen Habermas that

>>a perversion of history after the Enlightenment. This sensation dawned on
>>me yesterday whilst listening to Pres. Bush’s inaugural address at the
>>Mall. Americans love to believe in a Heavenly Father who endows mankind
>>with inalienable rights. A commendable act of faith indeed but the

>>The three spinning Goddesses of Fate, Moirae in white robes are ancient
>>deities that even the Zeus feared. I found myself entertaining the notion
>>that even the White House is purposively painted white in sanctification

>>Providence has given us for the development of the great experiment of

>>“All who live in tyranny and hopelessness can know the United States will
>>not ignore your oppression or excuse your oppressors,” President George
>>Walker Bush
>>
>>
>>
>>President Bush’s new found crusade against tyranny and for a world wide
>>experimental democracy is a reconciliation of noble American intentions
>>and interests…a synthesis that has never been before in modern human
>>history. Lady Liberty is on the march again, and hopefully she shall tear
>>down all the garrisons of oppression around the globe. So the Yaya
>>Jammehs of this world beware because Uncle Sam has had enough. And for
>>the oppressed Gambian people, America has made a pledge:
>>
>>
>>
>>"When you stand for your liberty, we will stand with you” Pres. Bush
>>
>>
>>
>>Almost half a century ago President Woodrow Wilson helped end colonialism
>>and European imperialism with his 14 point address at the League of
>>Nations. Let us also hope that President Bush’s second inaugural address
>>shall motivate heroic spirits and freedom fighters to end autocracy,
>>tyranny and all types of oppression. President Bush has promised to spin
>>the thread of liberty, and I pray it reaches all dark corners of the
>>globe.
