Cheney attended and spoke at the Holocaust Memorial in Auschwitz (hat tip DRUDGE):
"The story of the camps remind us that evil is real and must be called by its name and must be confronted," Cheney said at a forum in Krakow, where he spoke before attending an anniversary program at the concentration camps here. "We are reminded that anti-Semitism may begin with words but rarely stops with words and the message of intolerance and hatred must be opposed before it turns into acts of horror." While he didn't draw the comparison directly, the subtext of Cheney's message melded with the theme of President Bush's Inauguration Day speech about freedom versus tyranny as well as one of his previous State of the Union addresses when he called Iraq, North Korea and Iran the "axis of evil."
Cheney and Bush "GET IT" - and are proactively confronting evil more effectively than even FDR did (and almost as well as Churchill, and with just about the same number of allies, too!). Which should remind everyone: when it comes to the battle between good and evil, Old Europe is HARDLY (and harldy ever was) the best barometer of good.
