President Bush is a good man. It's a pity much of the world doesn't know him as well as they should.
Regards, Ivan

Thanks for posting. It was a nice read for my Sunday morning wakeup.
To: MadIvan
Bushs formulation is that we are engaged in a war between absolute evil and good principles. These principles, the president said, are practised by imperfectly good men. Nicely stated.
Thank you for posting this.

Thanks, Ivan. Your posts and views on the President are much appreciated.
To: MadIvan
I added an anecdote, recalling that my wife Cita and I abruptly left a posh London dinner party when the guests began attacking Bush and the US. Many thanks for that, but youd better not move to New York City or you will starve to death, I don't get it.
I never have.
Disagree with some of the man's policies I can understand. I do some of that myself.
But dislike the man? Hate the man?
I just don't get it.

Thanks, MI. That's one of the most evenly written articles I have ever read about the president. A true lack of pretense or prejudice from the writer.

"That led to the slaughter of 700,000 people in India, with the killing beginning one minute after the midnight deadline." The British did do a pretty bad job with the partition of India.

It was not the British who wanted partition, it was Mohammed Ali Jinnah, who demanded an independent Pakistan. The results have been pathetic.

"Although many nations are engaged in the coalition in Iraq and Afghanistan, troops from Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand are doing the heavy lifting." In Iraq, South Korea has more troops than any of those on the list besides Britain (the UK).
Does New Zealand have any troops in Afghanistan (they don't have any in Iraq)?

The Kiwis sent their Special Forces, I believe.

Thanks for posting this. I hope British readers of the Sunday Times finish the article, because important information is in the final paragraph.
One hour after we had taken our seats the president said, Have to go to work, mingled for a few minutes, and left. I was left with the impression that he is a man comfortable in his own skin; whose religious faith guides him in his search for the good. Unlike his television persona he is a fluent speaker and well read. Ultimately he believes that the president must be the decider, and thats fine with him.
By the way the author is Irwin Steltzer. The Times' headline writer forgot to include a space after his name.

It will make a lot more sense once you understand that extreme liberalism is a mental disorder. Don't attempt to use the logic of a sane man to understand the insane.
To: MadIvan
Love this quote, "He is also refreshingly free of the pretence so common in this town."
Just another reason why I love this President so much and pray for him everyday.

I am finding help in understanding in the description "malicious narcissism." I first encountered it reading Tammy Bruce, but have found out that the term was coined by Eric From, "The art of Loving". It explains a lot, but narcissism is untreatable and incurable, I think.

It will make a lot more sense once you understand that extreme liberalism is a mental disorder. The problem is I know a lot of moderates who feel the same way about Pres. Bush.
I just don't get it.
To: MadIvan
Thanks for posting that. It makes me feel much better about the President during these days when hatred of him is being fanned by lefties to a high heat.
To: MadIvan
It's a shame much of THIS country doesn't know him as they should.
History will be very gentle with him, and very harsh on us.
