Never thought I would say this about George W. Bush.... [View all]

Chris Hayes on MSNBC ran a clip of President Bush speaking six days after 9/11. He made a statement after meeting with Muslim community leaders in which he said that the attack on America had been done by a small group of extremists and that we needed to support and respect the religion of Islam. I was impressed by his sincerity and eloquence.
