This is odd thinking - the writer totally accepts what Bush has done as unquestionably necessary then he ponders why we have a need to be nasty with "enemies"? Why doesn't he ask himself why he accepts official demonization of "others" so easily instead of looking for the fault inside himself? Where is his critical evaluation of Bush's evidence for doing what he did?

If he goes through that process and decides we demonized the "right" people, then he should have no trouble accepting a less kind, less gentle approach to life. You can't demonize strangers and expect your fellow man to be angelic at the same time. The basic step of hating "others" undermines civility.

Sounds like an abdication of personal judgment dressed up as introspection. Very odd.
