He definitely is not the best speaker I've seen, far from it. However it placed emphasis on the content rather than the delivery. THe contnet was chilling, inspiring and very very bold. Some of the best aspects were the message to Islamics. Highlighting the freedom of millions of them worshiping here, that his argument was with those who pervert Islam. Very very important.

At times in his funeral speech Bush sounded like a preacher, he was preaching the word. Here he was enlightening Islamics due to consultation with Clerics here. Very good. very clever. Here's hoping it works and we don't have a "West vs Islam" confrontation.

I read a piece today asking why V.O.A. isn't braodcasting the truth into Afgahnistan. The Afgahnis aren't being told that Americas sanctions are because the Taliban refuse to hand over Bin Laden.

Hopefully this speech will be translated and broadcast in entirety there.
