President Bush gave a speech to the National Endowment for Democracy on November 6 and it is probably one of his best speeches.
In early 1970 there were about 40 democracies. Some countries like Uganda lost it briefly when Idi Amin staged a coup, but it has been reestablished.
As the 20th century ended there are around 120 democracies. Bush states in his speech "It is no accident that the rise of so many democracies took place in a time when the world's most influential nation was itself a democracy. The United States made military and moral commitments in Europe and Asia which protected free nations form aggression and created the conditions in which new democracies could flourish."
The soldiers of Vietnam, join the Korean War Vets, World War I Vets, World War II Vets, the War of 1812 Vets, the Desert Storm/Gulf War Vets, the Iraqi independence War Vets, the Kosovo War Vets, the Civil War Vets and finally the Revolutionary War Vets all to further freedom. They are all in the same fraternity of men who have provided freedom to the U. S. and the World. Vietnam was just one battle of the freedoms struggle.
"It is the United States that provided security for whole nations"
"Some skeptics of democracy assert that the traditions of Islam are inhospitable to representative government. It should be clear to all that Islam, the faith of one fifth of humanity is consistent with democratic rule. Democratic progress is found in many predominantly Muslim countries: in Turkey, Indonesia, Senegal, Albania, Niger, Sierra Leone. Muslim men and women are good citizens of India and South Africa." Iraq will become free.
God Bless
