"Because our own freedom is enhanced by the expansion of freedom in other nations, I set out the long-term goal of ending tyranny in our world. This will require the commitment of generations, but we're seeing much progress in our time. In late 2004, the people of Afghanistan defied the threats of terrorists and went to the polls to choose their leaders. The Palestinian people have elected a President who has renounced violence. And just four days from now, the people of Iraq will vote in free national elections."

I wish more people knew the "heartbeat" of the Bush family. A big Bio. reader...I'm touched by something Mr. Bush Sr. wrote in his journal...the day he lost the election..Nov. 4th. 1992.
"Now into bed, prepared to face tomorrow: Be stong, be kind, be generous of spirit, be understanding and let people know how grateful you are. Don't get even. Comfort the ones I've hurt and let down. Say your prayers and ask for God's understanding and strength. Finish with a smile and some gusto, and do what's right and finish strong."
A few weeks later...his mother died. It was a hard month for him...but would any of us have known?
Thanks for your post. I've always been impressed with George SR.'s integrity. I also think Jr. has gotten more grief than he deserves about the decisions he's made.
