"The values of our country are such that torture is not part of our soul - our being."It's funny, the way he said it made me think of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad at Columbia two weeks ago:
Both men would prefer that their statements were true, but they know, perhaps better than anyone, that they aren't. Maybe convincing us is almost as good as making it a reality."In Iran, we don't have homosexuals, like in your country - we don't have that in our country."
Of course, the sad part is Ahmadinejad is busy doing all (the executions) that he can to make his fantasy a reality, while Bush would veto any attempt to make his own dream come true.
I guess our President is more of a dreamer. :)
