"This is not, however, just America's fight. And what is at stake is not just America's freedom. This is the world's fight. This is civilization's fight. This is the fight of all who believe in progress and pluralism, tolerance and freedom."

Every time he uses the word, in my mind, I see Kirk giving Bush a lecture on how he has slurred the meaning of the word.

"In all that lies before us, may God grant us wisdom, and may He watch over the United States of America."

Plus, it's highly unlikely that God would have a sex, or the ability to 'grant' us with something it did not see fit to include as standard equipment.

You are truly Alliance, my friend. Your fear betrays you, as well as your psychotic need for perceived stability.You are not alone, if that's any consolation.
Dream on, young one.

That doesnt make any sense....How is saying that when its time to fight, we FIGHT wrong? Or asking that God grant us his mercy and strength?

Freedom at the point of a gun?

How about: You must BE the change you wish to see.

Very Zen & very true, Signy.

My government has tried to lead us down the dark path in the name of good reason. I hope, like Luke did, we can break away from it.

Whozit's path is chosen, like so many others. They need to believe in something greater than themselves for comfort ...but like Mal said, everyone dies alone- in this way only, are we truly one.

We must BE the change we wish to see.
