Bush Pleads with Americans not to Fight in Front of the Younger Democracies

President Bush asked the American people today to set “a better example” for younger, impressionable democracies. “We must not allow them to think that democracy is a chaotic system of government in which many voices scream to be heard. We must show them that democracy is a strong, stable form of government that can speak with one, unified voice. If we show weakness by disagreeing, they may turn away from the promise of democracy and freedom. So I ask that you follow me, your elected leader, without question so that all the world’s people may someday enjoy the fruits of democracy and live in freedom.”
