OT The Nature of Evil

I thought he was hilarious. Tear-streaming, belly-busting, knee-slapping
hilarious.
What isn't at all funny is that 50% of the people in this country don't even
"get" the fact that evil can attack from within, and historically probably
has more often than as an external enemy.
Ken, maybe you can help me, you seem to spend a lot of time 'surfing'
I consider myself moderate, and fairly non-partisan. I've voted for more
Democrats than Republicans, but I've voted for both, and a Greenie or two.
When Bush and his gang took office I was displeased about how they got
there, but I can remember telling several friends, "Let's just give the guy
a chance." I meant it and tried to respect the man.
After 9/11 in one of his very first public statements (after he came out of
hiding) Bush said something very close to, "I knew right then we were at
war" At that thought he got a clear, but quickly suppressed, little ****
eating grin on his frickin face. That was the first second that I knew we
were in big trouble in this country. Anyone that has to fight back a grin
at the thought of war is unfit to own a gun, let alone command the world's
most powerful military.
But daddy had proved a war is great for popularity ratings. So, Jr.
gladly became a "war president" and used a pile of dead
bodies as the foundation for greatly increased "popularity" in a country
reeling in fear and uncertainty. It's a strategy that has worked far too
many times in history, as we all know.

ANYway, I have been unsuccessfully trying to find a video clip of that
speech and his grin on the Net. Happen to know where it can be found?
