I hate President Bush. I think he is possibly the worst president in the history of the United States. That puts him on my list with Ronald Regan and Richard Nixon.
The entire country is making a huge deal about a speech Bush recently made in the Knesset, but I don’t think what he said was all that bad.
“As witnesses to evil in the past, we carry a solemn responsibility to take these words seriously. Jews and Americans have seen the consequences of disregarding the words of leaders who espouse hatred. And that is a mistake the world must not repeat in the 21st century.”
That sounds a whole lot like something I have said recently. Several times. Here in a post about Hillary Clinton. And here in a post about the costs of military restraint. Here in a February post about diplomatic options. I guess Bush speechwriters are reading my blog.
I will, for the first time ever, agree with George Bush. We cannot negotiate with Iran unless they remove their nuclear program and stop their anti-Israel and anti-West rhetoric. They are demonstrating that they want to destroy a long-time American ally. We cannot talk to them until they clean up their act.
