Bush: Hungarian revolt should inspire Iraq (not kidding - he said it!)
Let's see - a small country is illegally invaded by an agressive power hungry country. Citizens band together to revolt against the invading nation in order to be free of oppression.

For once in my life time I'll actually agree with Bush on something - Hungary is an inspiration for what is happening in Iraq today

"The lesson of the Hungarian experience is clear," Bush said in the courtyard of Buda Castle where he celebrated the coming 50th anniversary of Hungary's bloody revolt against communist rule. "Liberty can be delayed, but it cannot be denied," the president said.
