The average age of the world's great civilizations has been two hundred years. These nations have progressed through the following sequence: from bondage to spiritual faith, from spiritual faith to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependency, from dependency back to bondage.
Despite the problems I have with President Bush on a variety of issues, I believe that at his core, he is a good man. He is honest, faithful, trustworthy, and respectable. I think he honestly wants America to be strong and prosperous, and that he believes in the just nature of our cause. This story confirms just such an opinion.
