Persevere

My favorite Clint Eastwood movie, and one of my all time favorite movies, is the "The Outlaw Josey Wales." In the movie Lone Watie (Chief Dan George) tells Josey (Clint Eastwood) about a trip he made to Washington D. C. with other Cherokees to put their grievances before the President. During their audience they were told, "to endeavor to persevere." Then they were sent home with nothing substantive to show for their trip.

For some odd reason I was reminded of the scene while listening to President Bush's speech about Iraq the other night.
