More Quotes…
I was doing a little research and was surprised (amazing, isn’t it?) to find these quotes from President George W Bush:
“American foreign policy must be more than the management of crisis. It must have a great and guiding goal: to turn this time of American influence into generations of democratic peace. ”
-George W. Bush, speech, November 19, 1999
“The case for trade is not just monetary, but moral. Economic freedom creates habits of liberty. And habits of liberty create expectations of democracy. ”
-George W. Bush, speech, November 19, 1999
These are not just pre-9/11, but almost a year before he was elected. Freedom and democracy will clearly be the hallmark of his presidency.
While we’re at it, here are two more:
“America has never been an empire. We may be the only great power in history that had the chance, and refused – preferring greatness to power and justice to glory. ”
-George W. Bush, speech, November 19, 1999
“Whether we bring our enemies to justice or bring justice to our enemies, justice will be done. ”
-George W. Bush, September 20, 2001
