When you stand for your liberty...

"America speaks anew to the peoples of the world. All who live in tyranny and hopelessness can know the United States will not ignore your oppression or excuse your oppressors. When you stand for your liberty, we will stand with you."
G.W.Bush, Second inaugural address
Tell that to the students that stood for Freedom in the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989. We stood by them by soon forgetting their struggle and giving greater trade to their Chinese communist oppressors.
Tell that to the Kurdish Peoples that stood for Freedom and died by poison gas when George H. W. Bush abandoned them to the certain repercussions of Saddam Hussien after the aborted first Iraq War. Tell that to the people standing for Freedom in East Timor, Uganda, Rawanda, North Korea and other places that have no wealth of minerals, oil or strategic location to encourage the Lords of War to "stand with them" when they stand up for Freedom. Big words Mr. Bush, I hope that you choke on them in your sleep while dreaming of those you have abandoned in their striving for freedom.
