Miserable Failure: International bodies can be important in the war against terror if they're effective. They're lousy in the war against terror is they're not effective, because this is a results-oriented game we're in right now. We've got to be effective to stop them.

Who are them? International bodies? I guess so. After all they did prove that they had no relevance.

I would urge you to see the movie "Osama." It's hard for the American mentality to grasp how barbaric the Taliban was toward women in Afghanistan. So see the movie, and then maybe -- it'll speak better than I can possibly speak. Burl is always accusing me of not being able to speak so good anyway.

See. He does want Americans to be informed. Go see "Osama". But he is cute in his stupidity isn't he? Burl, whoever that is thinks so anyway.

We all thought he had weapons. We found out -- the truth will be known over time. We found out he had the ability to make weapons. He had the capability. I think the intent was clear. After all, he hated America. He paid suiciders to go kill Jews.

It is all so clear. He had ability and capability and America hatred and Jew hatred.

See, free societies don't promote terror.

No, I guess not. How many civilians died in Iraq? In Viet Nam? Chile? El Salvador? Nicaragua? Palestine? Hiroshima? Nagasaki? Dresden? No indeed. Free societies don't promote terror.

Now look, there's a debate, I readily concede -- some people don't believe if you're a Muslim or an Arab you can be free. I just strongly disagree with that thought. I think everybody yearns to be free, and I think everybody can self-govern. I remind you, some people thought the Japanese could never self-govern or be free. And, yet, as I said in my press conference the other day, I had the honor of sitting down to dinner with President Koizumi -- or Prime Minister Koizumi. And we're talking about North Korea, which I'll get to here in a second.
It's amazing -- he's a great guy, by the way. Elvis Presley is one of his favorites. (Laughter.) His favorite movie was Gary Cooper in "High Noon." One time he walked up to me and said, "You like Cooper." (Laughter.) I said, "I'm like Cooper?" He said, "Yes." (Laughter.) I finally figured out what he meant. (Laughter.)


Yes. Quite.

The long-term strategy of this government is to spread freedom around the world. And I believe -- I told you, a free Iraq will be a major change agent for world peace. I also believe a free Palestinian state would be a major change agent for world peace. Ariel Sharon came to America and he stood up with me and he said, we are pulling out of Gaza and parts of the West Bank. In my judgment, the whole world should have said, thank you, Ariel. Now we have a chance to begin the construction of a peaceful Palestinian state.

Well yes, Thank you Ariel, thank you ever so much. Did I say thank you? Thank you. Thanks for the 2,400 dead Palestinians including 460 children and some 600 Israelis killed including some 100 children (thanks B'Tselem). Thank you. Thank you Ariel. Thank you Dubya.
