UK: BUSH VISIT

Mirror: Bush Vows To Start More War

'Duty sometimes requires the violent restraint of violent men' - George Bush in his keynote speech

George Bush yesterday vowed to start more wars for the "moral goal" of liberation.

The president said the US reserved the right to use force against tyranny.

In the only public speech of his visit, Mr Bush said he would not bow to "thugs and assassins".

Just 24 hours before today's mass anti-war rally in London, he defended invading Iraq. Mr Bush paid lip service to global anti-war feeling - then threatened military action whenever he felt like it.

He said: "There are principled objections to the use of force in every generation and I credit the good motives behind those views.

"Those in authority, however, are not judged only by good motivations. The people have given us the duty to defend them. That duty sometimes requires the violent restraint of violent men.

"In some cases, the measured use of force is all that protects us from a chaotic world ruled by force."

"Den Spruch mit dem Schutz vor dem Chaos hat schon Goebbels gebracht. Ich danke Herrn Bush, dass er die Welt zu einem sicheren Ort macht. Es scheint ihm sehr gut zu gelingen"
