14. HEY! Did you know some people think brown-skinned people can't be free?!
Bush on 4-13-04: "...people don't believe Iraq can be free; that if you're Muslim, or perhaps brown-skinned, you can't be self-governing and free. I strongly disagree with that." (http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2004/04/20040413-20.html)

As to who the people who think that are... well, I haven't yet figured that one out.

Bush also said, on 4-30-04:"There's a lot of people in the world who don't believe that people whose skin color may not be the same as ours can be free and self-govern. I reject that. I reject that strongly." (http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2004/04/20040430-2.html)

So, um, since AMERICANS are every shade of the human rainbow, I guess he was talking about... Purple people? Green? Shiney gold and silver people, with diamonds in their foreheads?
