Cal Thomas on Bush’s democracy speech

Bush’s speech at the National Endowment for Democracy is being criticized from both the left and right. Here is one from the right. Cal Thomas is critical of Bush’s understanding of why Arabs and Muslims may be interested in freedom. Thomas thinks that Bush is misunderstanding Islam. On the contrary, Cal Thomas is misundertsanding human nature--which desires and needs freedom--and thinks that Islamism can obscure this natural good.
