enemy different roles
Our enemies didn't adhere to the Geneva Convention. Many of my comrades were subjected to very cruel, very inhumane and degrading treatment, a few of them even unto death. But every one of us - every single one of us - knew and took great strength from the belief that we were different from our enemies, that we were better than them, that we, if the roles were reversed, would not disgrace ourselves by committing or countenancing such mistreatment of them.
war long working-together
As long as there is a war on terrorism going on, we're all going to have to work together.
memorable media bird
It's always the wacko birds on right and left that get the media megaphone.
beautiful moving gay
I appreciate the decision made by Gov. Brewer to veto this legislation. I hope that we can now move on from this controversy and assure the American people that everyone is welcome to live, work and enjoy our beautiful State of Arizona.
patriotic fighting support
My patriotism and my conscience required me to support it and to engage in the debate over whether and how to fight it.
patriotic opportunity goodness
We have to love our freedom, not just for the private opportunities it provides, but for the goodness it makes possible.
country patriotic sacrifice
Our country doesn't depend on the heroism of every citizen. But all of us should be worthy of the sacrifices made on our behalf.
country appreciation simple
In prison, I fell in love with my country. I had loved her before then, but like most young people, my affection was little more than a simple appreciation for the comforts and privileges most Americans enjoyed and took for granted. It wasn't until I had lost America for a time that I realized how much I loved her.
fighting causes life-is
Nothing in life is more liberating than to fight for a cause larger than yourself, something that encompasses you but is not defined by your existence alone.
lying believe enough
I guess he believes if a lie is big enough and repeated often enough, it will be believed.
president president-bush
I'm not President Bush
peace war reality
War is wretched beyond description, and only a fool or a fraud could sentimentalize its cruel reality.
commitment goal important
We were pleased to hear the President state his firm commitment that he will do whatever is necessary to accomplish this important goal.
believe twilight mean
Just because they broke the law doesn't mean they're condemned forever to a twilight status ... I believe that most Americans feel that for these people who have come illegally, as long as they pay back taxes, pay a fine, learn English and get behind everybody else, that's a key element of it. And most Americans now realize we can't have 11 million people sit in the twilight, the shadows of America, forever.
