Bush on Foreign Affairs in 2000: ‘Let Us Not Dominate Others with Our Power, or Betray Them with Our Indifference’

“The duties of our day are different. But the values of our nation do not change. Let us reject the blinders of isolationism, just as we refuse the crown of empire. Let us not dominate others with our power — or betray them with our indifference. And let us have an American foreign policy that reflects American character. The modesty of true strength. The humility of real greatness. This is the strong heart of America. And this will be the spirit of my administration.”

– Governor George W. Bush, during his presidential campaign in 2000, proving he’ll read aloud but without comprehension whatever his aides put in front of him.
