...critics of President Bush's policies: 1) You're unpatriotic; 2) you're mad. In his commentary, Krauthammer doesn't indict me on the first count, but he does lump me in with a crowd of Democrats he describes as "seized with a loathing for President Bush--a contempt and disdain giving way to a hatred that is near pathological."

He has damaged the U.S. more profoundly than 100 Osama Bin Ladens ever could. We have lost the world's hearts and minds because Bush has neither. How can anyone forget Vietnam? D. Childs Thailand...
...just as arrogant and threatening when Americans play well, according to European elites, as when they do not participate at all. Even the rare American contributions to progressive politics such as affirmative action and the women’s movement are frequently met with derision, caricature and contempt by many European elites, including those on the left...
