Bush articulated his vision in September before the U.N., a body that has, by the way, been proven to be amazingly corrupt by the US weapons inspectors' report cited yesterday. The speech can be found at http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2004/09/20040921-3.html.

The following small excerpt shows the part of the Bush vision that even some on the left find appealing:

For too long, many nations, including my own, tolerated, even excused, oppression in the Middle East in the name of stability. Oppression became common, but stability never arrived. We must take a different approach. We must help the reformers of the Middle East as they work for freedom, and strive to build a community of peaceful, democratic nations.

This commitment to democratic reform is essential to resolving the Arab-Israeli conflict. Peace will not be achieved by Palestinian rulers who intimidate opposition, tolerate corruption, and maintain ties to terrorist groups. The longsuffering Palestinian people deserve better. They deserve true leaders capable of creating and governing a free and peaceful Palestinian state.
