Ah, memories!
This is not primarily the task of arms, though we will defend ourselves and our friends by force of arms when necessary. Freedom, by its nature, must be chosen, and defended by citizens, and sustained by the rule of law and the protection of minorities. And when the soul of a nation finally speaks, the institutions that arise may reflect customs and traditions very different from our own.
America will not impose our own style of government on the unwilling. Our goal, instead, is to help others find their own voice, attain their own freedom and make their own way.
- George W. Bush, Inaugural speech
It may not be fair to assume Bush ever meant these words, which he clearly didn’t write. After all, Ron Burgundy didn’t mean to tell San Diego to go fuck itself.
