A Great Speech: If you're still swallowing the Chomsky/Moore "Blood for Oil" U.S. Hegemony motive for the war in Iraq, please watch this speech (RealVideo) by President Bush in Canada yesterday. You may think his plan to spread democracy in the Middle East is foolish and doomed, but you can't doubt his commitment - only if you keep your mind tuned to one strain of thought, be it via Michael Moore, Noam Chomsky, Indymedia, NPR or CBS. Or don't listen to him speak and let the media pick an 8 second soundbite for you.

I look at it this way: You can rely on history, knowledge, and experience to look at what's going on today versus what's being said in speeches, and make judgements based on those factors OR You can believe speech writers and public relations officials whose job it is to create propaganda, and take that at face value. One involves logic and the other involves faith. Truth is neither one of us knows the true motives for sure, we can both only speculate. Our executive branch of government is as secrative and dishonest as any on government on Earth.
Can't doubt his commitment? Come on! I would say "Can't take a single word he says seriously" would be more like it. More later.
