President Bush addressed the entire nation after the events that took place on Tuesday, September 11, 2001.

Archbishop Oscar Romero starts his speech by thanking everyone at the University of Louvain for this honorary doctorate and for letting him share his experiences as a Salvadoran Christian and pastor. He starts to refer to his country as a Third World country, a world that the church needs to serve and fight for all the poor people that live in it. The poor tells us what the world is, what the church’s service should be and what it means for the church to live in that world.

There are also a handful of others who also have nuclear weapons.4 The threat and responsibility for nuclear weapons and nuclear war has been spread throughout the world. In May 2002 when our last surviving ANZAC died, World War One finished being a personal ordeal and became history.

Accordingly, our generation has earned the distinction of experiencing one of this century’s most important controversy. Therefor the debate of weather or not the Bush administration and congresses actions were un-American will go on, for possibly ever. Though no reasonable person can dispute the need to give the authorities we task with keeping our precious children safe from extremists who want nothing more than to see us dead, the tools they need to do what is seemingly an impossible job. Therefore, our modern day Jefferson’s and Franklins are guaranteed to have notched their place in history for acting so quick as to pass such big and heavy bill faster than any legislation has ever been passed before.
