The Case For Bush

摘要

The united states has two of the most centrist political parties in the democratic world. It rarely matters who wins. Things turn out all right regardless. Not this time. This time there is a war on. And when there is a war on, particularly a war with so much at stake, elections matter. And what matters? Having a President who understands the war and has the political courage to make the necessary decisions. Everything else is trivial. The war broke out on 9/11 and George W. Bush understood its meaning immediately. He understood that the old cops-and-robbers approach—bringing perpetrators "to justice"—was not only wrong but also dangerous. Up till then, it had lulled us into believing we were doing something about terrorism.
