A splendidly sane op-ed piece in today’s Daily Telegraph from British
journo Charles Moore, who does not much like GWB but very much wants him to
win this election:
Sample: “George W Bush doesn’t travel, literally or metaphorically. …
But he has got the big idea. There is a global problem with Islamism. There
is a problem of alliances between bad states and terror organisations that
reach beyond state boundaries. There is an almost universal rottenness in
the politics of the Arab world. There is an atrocious weakness or, as the UN
oil-for-food scandal shows, worse than weakness, in many of the Western
nations and international organisations that are supposed to help guarantee
our security. And it is the duty of the most powerful nation on earth to do
something about it.”
