BUMP.
Beautifully stated
and bull's eye accurate.
I told my wife back in 1989 that Ronald Reagan will go down in history as one of the best presidents ever to serve. She laughed and said "why?" I told her that he lifted a weary nation to its feet and made it believe in itself again, he stood tall and faced down the threat of the Soviet Union, and it will end up on the ash heap of history. About 4 years ago I told her that when "Dutch" passes away, we will see the world pay respects to the man who defeated Communism and a nation paying respects to a man who saved America and the world.
I will say right now that George W. Bush will one day be remembered as the President Ronald Reagan passed the torch to, and saved the world from a different kind of Tyranny, but just as dangerous. What is happening in the middle east will change the course of history, and IMHO, for the greater good of mankind
I believe that one day we will see a monument in the middle east that honors those who came from far off lands, and liberated them from the Tyrant's who brainwashed their children into a suicidal and murderous ideology. There will not be a graveyard like we see in Normandy or Omaha Beach, but there will be a symbol or monument that honors those who gave their lives for the Liberty and Freedom of people they never knew, as well as, a recognition of the leaders of our time who supported President Bush and Prime Minister Tony Blair in the noble and just cause, much like Roosevelt and Churchill are recognized today for their heroic actions
