Sullivan ping.

"You cannot reason someone out of an idea he was never reasoned into."

That's a keeper - wonder if this is Sullivan's or if it's an old bromide I somehow missed?

[Steve_Seattle]

This piece pretty much says it all. It should be required reading in every school and college campus in this country.

This ones a keeper.

Devastating. Absolutely, totally, scorched-earth devastating. One of the best critiques of the anti-Bush loonies I've ever read.

"But a man who, for all his faults, has actually liberated more Muslims from terror and oppression than any human rights group on earth, will be pilloried, attacked, booed and maligned."

Possibly my favorite line in this devastating piece.

Funny how the criticism is the same whatever they do, isn't it?

Exactly!!

I love my president, he makes me so proud.

Sullivan is a hit-or-miss kind of guy...

This one was definitely a HIT.

This article is a must read!

But what about Bush's violation of international norms of behavior? Didn't he invade a sovereign country without U.N. approval? Isn't that enough to foster intense loathing of this reckless president? If that is your argument, then you also have to ask yourself why president Clinton wasn't roasted at the stake as well. After all, he also launched a war without U.N. approval - in Kosovo. He did so with even less U.N. approval than George W. Bush in Iraq. Bush, after all, had the 1991 U.N. cease-fire agreement, which Saddam violated, he had umpteen violations of U.N. resolutions committed by Saddam, and he had last December's 15 - 0 Security Council resolution demanding unfettered and immediate cooperation by Saddam - or else. In Kosovo, Clinton had nothing like this international support - and had the threats of vetoes by China and Russia. But he went ahead and bombed anyway. Where were the mass demonstrations then? Where was Clinton burned in effigy? Why didn't London have to shut down because of all the protests against the lawless Americans? Hmmm.

The Brits should very careful how they treat a US President. It's one thing to protest your own leaders it quite anotherto protest a country who you owe your wealth to's leaders.

I guess the Brits didn't learn anything from the US boycott of all things French.

We should make them pay for this.

guess what? American soldiers are still stationed in Germany, and stayed long enough to see that country reunified. And the contribution of Germany to the reconstruction of Iraq? Zero.

What else is there to say?

Interesting read.

Here's my favorite quote:

"If France's third quarter growth rate was 7.2 percent, it might make more sense. But, no. It's the country run by a moron, devastated two years ago by the worst act of war on its soil in history, and governed by know-nothing policies, that is doing so well. So, er ... let's make fun of the damage Bush does to the English language and compare him to Hitler. That will make us feel better."

Bookmarked, and a BTT for a very powerful article. My admiration for Sullivan has just kicked up a notch. Brilliant piece.

Bump for continued read.
