WHY SHOULD ANYONE WHO DOESN'T LOVE THEIR NEIGHBOR...:

Why doesn't Bush get more credit?: His bold efforts for freedom were met with scorn. (John Hughes, January 8, 2009 , CS Monitor)

Sadly, Bush currently seems to get little credit for ridding the world of Saddam Hussein, surely one of the world's most fearsome despots since Adolf Hitler.

Nor is there much praise for his oft-voiced calls for democracy among the presently unfree peoples around the world, a campaign that he made the centerpiece of his foreign policy. One might have hoped that such calls would receive widespread acclaim and action except from a few dictatorial rulers such as those of North Korea, Iran, China, Russia, Burma (Myanmar), Zimbabwe, and a few Arab states.

Such was not the case ....

...care about the freedom of others? There's no reason for seculars to honor W's commitment to universal democracy.
