We were right

While others cluck that this Administration is too high-handed, David Gelernter says in the Weekly Standard that Bush hasn’t been straightforward enough – “Bush’s Rhetoric Deficit”:

The president needs to attack his opponents head-on, on principle. Peace is good, but if you have to buy it by turning your backs on suffering--at least don't be proud of the fact. We're proud that we didn't. Yes, our intervention served a practical purpose too, but let's start with Morality 101. In Iraq we expected to find hard evidence of cruelty, terror, and mass murder, and we did find it, and we told you so.

I like that: “at least don’t be proud of the fact.” Looking at you, Chirac.
