I love the way the critics of Bush the Younger constantly rely on the chimera of world public opinion.

In regards to Reverend Jackson's scurrilous accusation that "we misled the world into Iraq," I disagree. If anyone misled the world into Iraq, it was Saddam Hussein.

Instead, I expect us to move forward with a spirit of civility, a seriousness of purpose, and a willingness to compromise that characterizes our democratic process at its very best.
Well, how about leading by example with a rhetorical handshake and a "We'll get 'em next time"? After all, the decision was reached through a vote.
