WASHINGTON -- President George W. Bush has faced surprisingly little serious opposition to his disastrous foreign policy. The left was divided over Iraq and many of those who opposed Bush did so for partisan or even personal reasons. Unfortunately, little has changed.
Most liberals want to do what Bush is doing, only more competently and under the United Nations flag. Thankfully, some on the left disagree.
For instance, Sam Rosenfeld and Matthew Yglesias write: "The incompetence critique is, in short, a dodge -- a way for liberal hawks to acknowledge the obviously grim reality of the war without rethinking any of the premises that led them to support it in the first place."
