Freedom, liberty ... just don’t mention the war: Bush sworn in
As he was sworn in for a second four-year term in Washington, Mr Bush warned that for as long as whole regions of the world simmered in tyranny, violence would gather and raise a mortal threat. But in the first wartime inauguration for more than 30 years, the 43rd President did not specifically mention the war that has cost the US $150 billion and claimed at least 1,300 American lives.
“There is only one force of history that can break the reign of history and resentment, and that is the force of human freedom,” he said.
