Historical Filmmaker Ken Burns

[Ed note: Sometimes, I think that all the huge security presence that travels around the Bushies is done as much to keep dissent in check as to protect a man who has never seen a serious threat.]

NEW HAVEN -- Ken Burns had sober advice for the class of 2004, students who came of age after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and now leave Yale as war rages in Iraq.

"Insist that we fight the right wars," he said. "Steel yourselves. Your generation will have to repair this damage. And it will not be easy."

Burns addressed Yale's 1,300 seniors Sunday. He called his remarks a "valentine" to his oldest daughter, Sarah, who graduates today. But the speech was also a sharp commentary on President Bush and the war in Iraq.

President Bush and his daughter Barbara, who also graduates from Yale today, did not attend Class Day, held on Old Campus, or Sunday's baccalaureate services. But security helicopters rumbled overhead as Burns spoke.
