The Evangelical Conservatism of George W. Bush

You see now people are talking freely, acting freely, traveling freely, debating, experimenting, and practicing, you know, their life just as normal people... At night when they go to sleep, they feel that since the previous regime no longer exists and Saddam is no longer there, at least they feel safe inside."
