Foreign governments and commentators are reacting with alarm, skepticism and defiance to President Bush (news - web sites)'s inaugural address, in which he promised to draw sharp distinctions between nations based on "oppression, which is always wrong, and freedom, which is eternally right." The above is exactly what he intended and 50% of the American population agrees with him. Writing in The Guardian of Britain, commentator David Aaronovitch called Bush's aim of spreading democracy superior to "the dismal prospect" of doing nothing. But he said Bush needs to pursue the goal with less arrogance and more accountability. He said Bush "seems to have terrified a good portion of the world." This guy said it best. ted
