  John "kick one for me, guys" Derbyshire is urlLink complaining at National Review Online about far left and far right attacks on Bush and his people. "Whatever you think on this point, at least acknowledge that George W. Bush and his administration are decent, intelligent, and patriotic Americans, with a century or so of collective experience in government between them, doing their honest best for the country.
As opposed, I mean, to the stuff you hear from Bush-haters on the Left and Paleo-Right, to the effect that the Bushies are Stupid — So stupid they let themselves be used as helpless pawns of Israel, Iran, the Saudis, or the oil lobbies (pick your preferred nutso conspiracy theory). Venal — Just in it for the money, you know. Oil for blood, Halliburton, yada yada. Crazy — The most popular diagnosis being religious dementia, GWB taking his orders directly from God. " He's obviously referring to groups like moveon.org, antiwar.com, and lewrockwell.com, and that's OK.
I personally have gripes with the way many people have opposed the war in Iraq. I think the rampant name calling, while its not necessarily untrue, is not a good strategic move. Those against the war have a strong enough case on evidence, ethics, and history to wipe the floor with the neoconservative hawks. Speaking of ethics, I have always wondered if the neoconservatives are even capable of maintaining a coherent theory of ethics and morality. They seem to be nothing short of left-wing moral relativists.
