In addition, the President said, “In a democratic Iraq, those who choose to voice their dissent by protesting will be recognized and listened to, not derided and ignored.”
While President Bush stopped short of saying that an Iraqi-style democracy could take root in the U.S. in the near future, he added hopefully, “You never know – it could happen.”

Immediately following his speech, White House press secretary Ari Fleischer tempered Mr. Bush’s remarks somewhat, saying that the President “was speaking metaphorically” about the prospects for democracy in the United States.
“The President does in fact believe that democracy will come to the United States after the war is over,” Mr. Fleischer said, “but not a moment sooner.”
