Yes I saw that contradiction as well. It doesn't make him a hypocrite, it just makes me a bad quoter. He was talking about nothing justifying the attacks on the WTC.
I decided to leave it unedited though because I couldn't be bothered.
I like the guy. He's articulate, informed, way more egalitarian than the aristos, is unifying the coalition, and has the timerity to take a stand against terrorism despite receiving flak from at home and Syria.
Gutsy and ballsy. History will remember him. Churchill during peacetime and Gorbachev after glasnost, were not terribly popular at home either if I'm not wrong.
What I don't get is the English protestors I saw while I stopped in London earlier today... (if you can call that wierd timeframe today. The last 30 hours of transit felt like one long day).
They were protesting the war.
Why don't they buy a ticket to Kabul and protest there? It takes two sides to have a war, but only one to strike first.
Who is giving the Taliban and Bin Laden the finger for being aggressive?
