...find out, 10 years from now, that CIA agents initiated massive covert operations to prop up U.S.-friendly but highly corrupt governments that massacred their own people, as we now know occurred in Latin America during the 1980s, I will be able to say self-righteously, “You never told me you were going to do that.” And even if our actions eventually destabilize entire regions of the world, foster global anti-Americanism and bomb a country back into the Stone Age, I might (probably not) argue that it was worth it in order...

And he still needs work on waiting out his applause. But Thursday night, in front of the U.S. Congress and the nation, eight months to the day after he took office following an election that was pretty dark itself, Bush delivered the finest, strongest, clearest, several-times-chill-giving speech of his life.
