Not to keep bringing this back to the coming election (to be so short term–and yet long term), but there is something stark in the contrast between George W. Bush and John Kerry (who I am safely assuming will be the nominee). If everyone really looked at the things Kerry has said about this nation–and never apologized for (do read WFB’s West Point speech of 1971, along with Kerry’s congressional testimony, along with Mac Owens and Kate) and then hear W. (and I do think Bush watchers have seen it), I don’t think there would be much of a contest. You might just say I’ve drunk the Kool-Aid, but I think the choice is clear and important. And I hope Americans see the case as clearly and persuasively as I did yesterday.
