The Untamed Fires of Freedom?

That was a motif from the Inaugural speech. That the fires of freedom are spreading around the world.

An unfortunate image, don't you think? I guess that's what Shock and Awe was. The untamed fires of freedom. I guess that's what killed that wedding party in Baghdad. Fires of freedom. I guess that's why, according to some report, 100,000 Iraqis have perished. They were just consumed by the fires of freedom!

Freedom. Something that burns everything in its path, causing destruction, mass death, and tragedy.

Yeah, that sounds apt.
