Nor will I, Hawk...nor will I. Foreign Affairs policies will be forever changed because of Sept 11th. If the murderers don't believe that, perhaps they should review Mr. Bush's words again:
"And, Larry, this was very early. This was the very next day. And the president came in. I will remember this evening -- that evening for a long time, because the president came in. And the first thing he said was -- he looked around the room and he pointed to each of us, and he said: "Don't Forget. Don't forget." He said, "No one in this room,' he said, "don't forget."
He said, "I will never forget." He said: "Now, the nation will go on to other things. It has to go on to other things." He said: "But I will never forget. None you have can forget this," he said, "because we have to -- we have to root and eliminate this evil." He said, "We must do it." He said, "Otherwise, the next generation, our children and grandchildren, will live in terror." He said, "And we better be patient doing this," he said.
He knew then. He had internalized this. Larry, this was the leader speaking to the leadership. I was proud of the president. |
