The quote is one of the great insights in the article. An ordinary and unprincipled man might walk away from Israel. Materially, he could argue or think, we'd be better off. It's an expedient possibility if we had the wrong president. But Bush's stubborn refusal to give up on the things he believes makes him the best friend Israel and, for that matter, the Iraqis could have. In this sense, he is very much like Reagan and how he stood by freedom for the captive nations of the Soviet communists. This is a trait the Liberals call being an ideologue, which for them is only acceptable if it concerns abortion.
