Stay updated all:

Welcome back Dude.

A few quotes from President Obama speech might be in order.

I quote:

"As for our common defense, we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals. Our founding fathers....our founding fathers faces with perils we can scarcely imagine, drafted a charter (e.g. Constitution) to assure the rule of law and the rights of man, a charter expanded by the blood of generations.

Para are mine.

and

"Recall that earlier generations faced down fascism and communism not just with missile and tanks, but with sturdy alliance and enduring convictions."

and to leaders:

To those leaders (e.g someone like Sadam Hussien and OBL) around the world that seek to sow conflict or blame their society ill's on the West-know that your people judge you by what you build, not destroy. To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know you are on the wrong side of history, but we are willing to extend a hand if you are willing to unclench a fist."

and on Iraq, Afghanistan and terrorism:

"We are the keepers of this legacy, guided by these principles
(democracy, liberty and freedom, I assume he refers here) once more, we can meet those new threats that demand even greater effort even great cooperation and understanding between nations.
We will begin to responsibly leave Iraq to its people, and forge a hard earned peace in Afghanistan.......We will not apologize for our life, now will we waver in in its defense and for those
who seek to advance their aims by intruding terror and slaughtering innocents, we say to you now that our spirit is stronger and cannot be broken: you cannot outlast us and we will defeat you."

and on America birth:

In the year of American birth, in the coldest of months, as mall band of patriots huddled by dying campfires on the shores of a icy river. The capitol abandoned. The enemy was advancing. The snow was stained with blood. At a moment when the outcome of our revolution was most in doubt, the father of our nation ordered these words be read to the people......

"Let it be told to the future world....that in the depth of winter, when nothing but hope and virtue could surivive,,,that they city and country alarmed at one common danger, came forth to meet it." (words of George Washington)

"America, in the face of common dangers, in this winter of our
hardship, let us remember there timeless words. With hope and virtue, let us brave once more the icy currents (Washington took his small band across a icy river to attack at Trent) and endure what stroms may come. Let it be said by our childrens children that when we were tested, we refused to let this journey end, that we did not turn back back nor did we falter, and with eyes fixed on the horizon and God's grace upon us, we carried that great gift of freedom and delivered it safely to future generations."

Yes Dude.....he is going to light up the world...for democracy, liberty and freedom. And he is willing to fight for it. If you ain't ready to join...get ready to be left.:-)
