It already happened in Afghanistan and Iraq...
now it is happening in Lebanon...
...in Egypt...
Cal Thomas writes This is the Bush Doctrine: Freedom is something to be embraced by all people, regardless of faith, history or ethnicity. It is a universal value. The tide of history has turned. Where within memory the oppressors were on the march and free people had to explain why they wouldn't move; now freedom is marching and dictators are being told to get out of the way.
Even the left-leaning German magazine Der Spiegel revealed a crack in Europe's failed leftist ideology when it wrote in its Feb. 23 issue: "Germany loves to criticize George W. Bush's Middle East policies -- just like Germany loved to criticize former President Ronald Reagan. But Reagan, when he demanded that Gorbachev remove the Berlin Wall, turned out to be right. Could history repeat itself?"
History IS repeating itself... right before our eyes...
President Bush, much like the little engine that could, keeps right on chugging down the track...regardless of who or what is criticizing him...he knows that people dream of freedom...and it is not ours to deny them of it...
Thomas ends his article thus: As the liberal playwright Lillian Hellman wrote in "Watch on the Rhine" (1941): "For every man who lives without freedom, the rest of us must face the guilt." Isn't President Bush saying the same thing?
