But I have inside intel from my student, Barbara Efraim:
It was so good! I wrote down two quotes that I really liked: "The only alternative to radical terrorists is the spread of democracy." "Democracies lay the foundation for freedom, and freedom is necessary for peace." He spent a lot of time answering questions on Iraq and Afghanistan, but he also addressed other things. Someone asked him advise on raising teenagers when the parent is so busy. He also joked around a lot, saying that when Laura asked him to wash the dishes after leaving the White House, she said that this was his new domestic agenda...
"Democracies lay the foundation for freedom, and freedom is necessary for peace."
ReplyDeleteWow. Profound. Too bad the second part of the sentence isn't true.
Isn't this always about definitions and specifications, LFC?
ReplyDeleteGWB is correct if he means free democratic dyads, for which the consensus holds don't fight one another.
