What a Difference A Year Can Make

In thinking back on the last year and all the amazing events that have come to pass, I decided to re-read President Bush's inaugrual speech. It really is a gem. My favorite part:

"We will persistently clarify the choice before every ruler and every nation: The moral choice between oppression, which is always wrong, and freedom, which is eternally right. America will not pretend that jailed dissidents prefer their chains, or that women welcome humiliation and servitude, or that any human being aspires to live at the mercy of bullies."

And with democracy now in Iraq, it really is only a matter of time before other countries realize just how possible it is (cough! Iran). Think about that: for hundreds of years, we've been told that democracy would never happen in the Middle East. Not ever.

I guess some things do change.

Cheers!
