It is no mistake that President George Bush is at the UN today. It is a time when the sensibilities of a nation still reverberate with the flag-snapping patriotism of September 11th memorials. When the loss of American lives abroad and at home is connected to a nation’s historical pursuit of freedom, liberty.
Bush is to make his most detailed case to date, for what he calls ‘regime change” in Iraq, challenging the United Nations to act first, or step aside, and let the work be done by military force; American military force if necessary.
