In a free society, what he said should not be viewed as foolish but rather, as an exercise of his right to free speech. Of course it is an exercise of free speech but if that means it can't be foolish then what can be considered foolish? Your not making a lot of sense here. People have a right to make foolish statements, and other people have a right to point out their foolishness. In the latest WSJ poll, 55% of the American people insist Bush continue to work through the auspices of the UN. And a majority want an Iraq without nukes. Working with the UN may make this impossible if other UN SC members want to obstruct and delay. They want the US to work with the UN but they want this to be so because they want the UN to go along with the US. Tim

A utopia where no matter how outlandish the statement, it isn't foolish. Nobody is EVER responsible for anything they say. In fact, personal responsibility would be a thing of the past. Good idea.
