There is a great risk of self-aggrandizement when one is considered to be a big fish in a small pond (even one as big as FR....it's still small), and doesn't even use his own name.
It's all about perspective. President Bush saved the country from obliteration by terrorists at his own risk. Every single day. Self-sacrificing, taking more abuse and lies directed at him than any President in my long lifetime. And never losing a bit of his honesty, integrity or class.
Nathan writes anonymous words.....lots and lots of them. Is that being great at anything? He is also uber sensitive to being criticized (as evidenced by his responses to me). Is that being great?
Most of us don't make the mistake he is making. We know we're just writing our own opinions and have no delusions of grandeur about what that means, or how important that makes us.
That's part of the reason we are humble enough to recognize what President Bush actually accomplished for this country (regardless of our differences), and how much his courage and integrity will mean to future generations.
