Not only does Bush realize or understand the fact that if people rise up in a totalitarian society they may be killed, he appreciates the fact.On the risk that his Inaugural Address, with its theme of ending tyranny, created a risk that people in totalitarian societies would rise up unrealistically expecting the backing of the United States:
I do appreciate the fact that people listen to my words. I also appreciate the fact that if people rise up in a totalitarian society, they can be killed. And so it's with that in mind that I speak.
