re: #64 Atlas Fails

Bush saw the world in black in white: there were the good guys and the terrorists. Why do the terrorists hate us? They hate us for our freedom, of course! Uber-patriotic thinking like this sounds great on the campaign trail, but as we saw, often leads to disastrous real-world consequences.

JFK and that bone head LBJ come to mind…Bush was trying to do the right thing…all this after the fact trashing is weak, partisan and unhealthy
