BUSHISM of the Day

"But the true threats to stability and peace are these nations that are not very transparent, that hide behind the -- that don't let people in to take a look and see what they're up to. They're very kind of authoritarian regimes. The true threat is whether or not one of these people decide, peak of anger, try to hold us hostage, ourselves; the Israelis, for example, to whom we'll defend, offer our defenses; the South Koreans." ---Media roundtable, Washington D.C., 13 March 2001


Okay, some commentary on this Bush quote: Mr. Bush claims that the true threats are regimes that hide their true intentions, that mask their true actions in the public sphere, that keep people in the dark about their policies. It takes one to know one, Mr. Bush! A government that tries to work behind close doors without full disclosure to its citizens can very well be a threat to peace and stability throughout the world. Under the Bush Doctrine, the United States is one of these countries.

I can't even comment on anything else from this quote because I don't really understand it. Anyone?
