quoted for truth:
Nobody needs me to remind them here what today is. Nor do I think it particularly necessary to again publicly express my feelings or memories of that day five years ago.
I do, however, find myself today thinking about what was going on in this country on December 6, 1946. On the five-year anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor, we were already a year past V-E and V-J Day. Nazi leaders were on trial at Nuremberg. The United Nations was up and running, dedicated to making sure we never had a repeat of the horrors witnessed in recent memory. The country was heading into probably one of the most comfortable and secure periods of its entire existence.
Today, we have George Bush and Company trying to compare terrorists to Nazis, and themselves to Churchill and Roosevelt.
They wish.
