New York Times Now to the Left of Pravda
Ace of Spades came across this in Pravda, formerly the official voice of the Soviet state and still very much a left-wing publication. It was published before the January 30 "paradigm shift" caused by the Iraqi elections, which made it impossible for all but the most fanatical leftists to deny that Bush's Middle East strategy is working. The editorial makes a case for why Bush will be remembered by history as one of our greatest presidents. Ace's point is on the mark — you don't often find stuff like this under the Gray Lady's skirts:
As predicted, liberals and Bush haters began accusing President Bush of being reckless and abusing his power, instead of giving him the credit and praise he deserves. Just once I would like to see liberals help the President in a noble cause, but I guess this will never happen. Liberals would rather try to make Bush look bad rather than help the oppressed, even though they claim to be the defenders of human rights.
I think liberals are afraid of taking an aggressive stand on world problems. They are more comfortable with Bill Clinton's foreign policy of letting thugs drag dead Americans through the streets of Somalia than a foreign policy of strength. A plan for peace is outside their realm of thinking, unless appeasement and surrender is involved. They just cannot imagine winning a lasting peace by taking the fight to the enemy. No wonder John Kerry was loved by the French.
Read the whole thing, it's good. But don't hold your breath waiting for it to be reprinted in the NY Times.

Bill Clinton's foreign policy was to win a Nobel Peace Prize.
Glad you found this, I hope it embarrasses the Old Gray Hag.
