There are few men in history who see things in black and white and have the conviction to remain firm in their stance. They block out criticism and distractions to keep their eye firmly on the target whatever it might be. Ronald Reagan had this quality and now we are witness to the same quality in President Bush.

The President of the US has issued a Fatwa for a Jihad against tyranny and those who would deny freedom for their citizens around the world. Only a President who sees things in black and white could or would champion a cause this bold.

The people who think in color would never attempt a mission like this. They talk about human rights and freedom, but that is as far as they ever get. They will talk a good game and say all the politically correct things yet there is no substance. They would rather appear on bended knee at the United Nations alter and seek divine guidance from the false gods they worship. The measure of a man is by his deeds not his words.

How many people did Jimmy Carter while President or now as head of the “The Carter Center, Human Rights Organization” free from oppressive regimes? Zero and in fact we now face a threat from the same tyrants in Iran he didn’t deal with when he had the chance as President. He talks a good game about human rights but who has he ever restored the human right of freedom to? Not a soul.

President Bush is banking on the Domino Theory taking place throughout the Middle East as oppressed Arab people see the events unfolding in Iraq. The Iranian student SOS movement is just one example of groups working to undermine their tyrannical regimes. These are the people the President was speaking about in his Inaugural Address to the Nation. You can bet they are being supported in some fashion by the Bush government.

People who only see in color closed their ears along with their minds and missed the chance to support freedom-loving peoples everywhere. Thank God the people of Iraq saw things in black and white and ignored the threats.

Well said, and would like to add it appears something is going on in the Sudan that is positive. It appears the level of genocide is decreasing and wonder does Bush have special units over there kicking some Wahhabi tail? I hope so.
