When I read this exerpt from this speech I see it can be powerful and persuading, but also foolish in word choice. What makes this powerful is the fact that Bush displays acts of courage and grief to the members in the armed forces as well as inncoent lives that have been taking due to numerous terrorists attacks in the Middle East. This is inspirational to Americans that feel vonerable to attack because of what happened on September 11th. The people like to feel safe and secure when they go to work, fly on a plane, ride a bus, and other day to day activities. Bush makes it clear that he is willing to do whatever it takes to make this country feel safe. His grief shows compassion to the innocent victims families, those here and over seas. It shows that he is a normal american like the rest of us and not a power hungry dictator that could careless about his people, and this is why we re-elected him.
But for those people who oppose Bush and his ideas your chance to stop him would of been when he was ranting about his "war on terror". These people could of stopped and asked questions about how he planned on fighting a war on terror when terror is a feeling of being scared. It is physically impossible to fight a war on terror. It is possible however to fight a war on "Terrorists" which would of been more specific and better worded. This is an example of how we as Americans either don't care enough to ask questions or are so wrapped up in emotion and will believe anything that comes out a politicians mouth because we want to believe that they are here for every single persons best intrest.
As we gather tonight, two teams walk on the field to fight for the war of the AL series. By bringing hope to the people of their cities searching for a world series title, they are making their cities known to the county.
