"How did it come to pass that an opposition's measure of a president's foreign policy was all or nothing, success or "failure"? The answer is that the political absolutism now normal in Washington arrived at the moment--Nov. 7, 2000--that our politics subordinated even a war against terror to seizing the office of the presidency." - Daniel Henninger - WSJ 11/18/05

David Frum's Diary on National Review Online

David Frum's Diary on National Review Online

David Frum posts regarding a James Fallows article here.

Frum's closing remark sums it up perfectly, "There is a lot of exasperation out there these days against President Bush. I sometimes feel it myself. So it is good to be reminded of the main currents of thought in the opposition to this president. For all his manifold and manifest faults, he acts; and all too often, his opponents offer as superior wisdom what amounts in practice to listless passivity."
