Leon Wieseltier in The New Republic (subscribers only) on what generalised Bush hatred is not:
People who believe that George W. Bush is generally wrong are going to be right a lot of the time. But this sort of axiomatic suspicion is not to be mistaken for critical reflection. It is just as doctrinaire, and as innocent of the empirical impulse, and as useless for the search for concrete solutions to actual problems, as the credulity of people who believe that George W. Bush is generally right. The Bush administration has done bad things well and good things poorly, and it does not deserve to be returned to office; but the American alarm about threats and tyrannies is not all, or mainly, war fever.
