Was it right for President Bush to say, "Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists"?

President Bush: "Every nation, in every region, now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists. From this day forward, any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be regarded by the United States as a hostile regime..." I think that the intent behind this powerful message was honorable and needed to be said. However, I think it is unfair in the way it is worded. President Bush says that "any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be regarded as a hostile regime." I am in agreement with this statement completely, because any nation that supports the growth of terrorism supports a growing evil, which must be crushed before it is given life. This was not the case during the reign of Hitler, and the Germans, who were in a rough situation to begin with due to WWI, began to grow into a nation that would end up playing a large part in one of the greatest tragedies in world history. However, as asked, I do not believe that the president should have included "every nation" in this act because those nations who are not strong enough to combat terrorism would be placed in needless danger, where terrorism would be able to grow and act out its cruel measures.
