George W. Bush, assuming he could even read the following passage, probably couldn't understand it.
Let Every Nation Know: John F. Kennedy in His Own Wordsby Robert Dallek, Terry Golway
Thom Hartmann's "Independent Thinker" Book of the Month Review

On November 22, 1963, the day he was assassinated in Dallas, John F. Kennedy was scheduled to give a speech in which he would have said:
"We in this country, in this generation, are - by destiny rather than choice - the watchmen on the walls of world freedom. We ask, therefore, that we may be worthy of our power and responsibility, that we may exercise our strength with wisdom and restraint, and that we may achieve in our time and for all time the ancient vision of 'peace on earth, goodwill toward men.' That must always be our goal, and the righteousness of our cause must always underlie our strength. For as was written long ago, 'except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.'"
Imagine how different our world would be today if Bush the Younger both understood and agreed with President Kennedy.
