Barack Obama's Inspirational Whoosh To The Presidency

George W. Bush Will Surely Deserve That Woolliest Of All Peace Prizes, The Nobel.

Back In George W. Bush's Second Term, When Diplomatic Realism Began To Overtake Foolish Bellicosity, The President Developed One Of His Patented Nicknames For The Two Most Powerful Neoconservative Journalists, William Kristol And Charles Krauthammer: He Called Them 'the Bomber Boys.'

Bush Promised A Foreign Policy Of Humility And A Domestic Policy Of Compassion. He Has Given Us A Foreign Policy Of Arrogance And A Domestic Policy That Is Cynical, Myopic And Cruel.

Cynicism Is What Passes For Insight Among The Mediocre.

We Should Never Go To War Unless We Have Been Attacked Or Are Under Direct, Immediate Threat Of Attack. Never. And Never Again.
