Born at the Crest of the Empire

From a statement by President Bush before a press conference, Jan 26, 2005.

Because our own freedom is enhanced by the expansion of freedom in other nations, I set out the long-term goal of ending tyranny in our world.

A piece of advise for the president...

"Think globally, act locally."

Damn, those hippies do get right now and then don't they?

That tyranny plays hell with turnover and profit margins.
I can see why he was keen to try an impose global order, and control. Dammned tyranny!

Praguetwin, in the press conference, he tried to say, if you love peace, you should support the spread of democracy, leaving out the obvious connection that he meant you should support his policies of democracy for enemies only at the point of a gun.

Cartledge, good point. He is the "MBA president" after all.

The biggest step to ending tyranny would have been him resigning

Yeah. It shows in the egoism of this very statement. "I" decided to end tyranny in the world.

I wanted to comment that he should start at home, but you guys beat me to it again.
