Hawkins’ thoughts on inauguration speech

John Hawkins at Right Wing News has his thoughts about the misinterpretations of the Bush speech.

He has the right idea, as most pundits and newspapers I have seen don’t seem to. We aren’t going to start bombing the whole world. We’re going to take each opportunity case-by-case and see what we can do. For Ukraine, it was supporting a revote. For Iran, it may be bombing some infrastructure and assisting the people overthrow the government, whereas with Saudi Arabia it might just be simple political pressures to reform. The ultimate goal is to end tyranny, but that doesn’t mean to be stupid about it. There’s nothing hypocritical about not immediately overthrowing Pakistan just because they have an authoritarian regime. One step at a time.
