"President Bush said today he would not be swayed by the massive crowds of anti-war protesters who marched in cities around the world over the weekend."
"Australian Prime Minister John Howard appears unfazed by weekend anti-war protests described by some organizers as the biggest in the country's history."
AND NOW A WORD FROM OUR SPONSOR.
Now we are now engaged in a great Civil War testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure.
We are met here on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of it as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we do this. But in a larger sense we can not dedicate, we can not consecrate, we can not hallow this ground.
Those brave men living and dead who struggled here have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here but they can never forget what they did here.
It is for us the living to be dedicated to the unfinished work which they have thus far nobly carried on. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us.
That from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave their last full measure of devotion. That we hold highly in resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain.
That the nation shall have a new birth of freedom and that this government of the people, by people, by the people shall not perish from the earth." BIG ABE, Theatre Critic.
They shoot Presidents don't they?
