Brian PinnowAmerican Government Bush's Address Before this speech I didn't know what to think about Bush as a president. After reading his speech my view on him has changed greatly. Not only did talk about the American people but also other countries. Through out his speech he pleased both the anti-war Americans but the pro-war American's also. Bush has a lot of respect, or bravery for saying that 'the United States respects the people of Afghanistan -- after all, we are currently its largest source of humanitarian aid -- but we condemn the Taliban regime'. It shows that he has his thoughts all collected and he is not rushing and attacking and putting blame on the people of Afganistan.

He still has concerned for them, that they are just repressing their own people He tried to please every American by being saying there will be a war but not like other wars. By saying "Our response involves far more than instance retaliation and isolated strikes. Americans should not expect one battle, but a lengthy campaign unlike any other we have even seen". He went on to say that it's not a war against Afganistan but a war on terrorists'. I liked how bush puts his foot down and threatens the Taliban. Demanding them to close permanently every terrorist training camp and hand over every terrorist and everyone who participated to the proper authority.

Saying that his demands are not open to negotiation or discussion so they must turn in the terrorists or 'or they will share in their fate. He is threatening them but also has enough bravery to do it considering what they have already done In the last part of his speech he goes on how 'we will come together" to strengthen American and so on then how he hopes that in the months ahead life returns to almost normal but how 'our resolve must not pass'. We will always remember that day and to whom it happened. I also liked how Bush showed the police shield of a man named George Howard, who died at the W. trade center trying to save others and how 'This is my reminder of lives that ended, and a task that does not end. Then he ends it with how he will not yield, will not rest for the freedom and security for the American people. Then his last sentence is that he says that 'may god grand us wisdom, and may he watch over the United States of America".

I am not one to watch Presidential addresses but after reading this one I wish I had watched it on T.V. It changes my mind about him and the war against terrorists'. I enjoyed his speech very much I wish him the best of luck because the American people trust him.
