Another second inaugural speech    [ Politics ]

Perhaps a more readable and more prescient address than the one just delivered by the 43rd President of the United States is the speech delivered by the 34th President, Dwight Eisenhower, on January 21 1957. Replace "communism" with "terrorism", "Russia" with "the Muslim world", and you've got an amazingly current and more thoughtful and pragmatic take on America's role in the world.
