I'm happy with parts of that article. Oh, the gloating tone is unpleasantly boorish, but not unusual. THe rejection of overdone multiculturalism is (IMO) reasonable, if graceless.

But this horror...

Bush understands that the heat from burning jet fuel made the national mind akin to hot wax -- malleable.

I'm not sure which is the worst... the image of US national thought as having the consistency and reasoning power of soft wax, the thought of Bush sculpting it into his own preferred shapes (an SUV and a missile, perhaps), or the indication that the writer approves of one or both of the above.
O tempora! o mores!
