Bush's speech can best be described by listing what it did not say.
Although the speech clearly was attuned to the nation's response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks, there was no mention of "terrorism" or "the war on terror." Neither "Iraq" nor "Afghanistan" was mentioned.
How could the president make these omissions when the war in Iraq, fought as a battle in the war against terror, is his major second-term problem?
This does not define the optimum governmental structure defined by Plato in the above post
