Bush cried when he awarded the Medal of Honor, to the parents of a Navy special operations sailor killed in Iraq--Michael Monsoor. Michael was a 25-year-old Petty Officer Second Class when he was dead. He sacrified his lives for his comrades through covering a grenade with his body. He is a respectable soldier. Are you surprised to see Bush so touched?

However, it is also possible that my President felt genuine sadness in having to face his parents in their grief. Contrary to what many would have you believe, I do not believe George Bush is a bad man. He's not my kinda guy, but then I am very conservative and George Bush is a liberal.

Tech Officer Navy SEAL Michael Monsoor is a genuine hero in the most fundamental and ideal sense. When confronted with the immediate and real force of Death, Michael was given a choice, and faced with an infinitely important decision... to be made in an infinetesimal amount of time. Michael's Spirit chose Compassion, immediately and selflessly. Michael met Death in the same way as Avalokitesvara and Guan Yin, the Buddhas of Compassion. Michael's Soul is Enlightened. Michael's choice will serve as a shining light, an heroic example of selfless Compassion in the face of War and Death. I think Michael's parents somehow understand this, and the pain of their loss is relieved by their understanding.
