We have a president who's anything but conservative when facing the global future. Had his landmark speech of Nov. 6 - declaring that freedom, not false stability, is once again America's strategic goal - been made by a darling of the intelligentsia, it would have been hailed as the most important address of our generation.

But because George W. Bush made that speech, our intellectual establishment largely ignored it. He's given the left the policies they've clamored for - liberation, human rights, massive foreign-aid increases - and the left is proving its insincerity by rejecting its own doctrines when they come from a Republican.

Freedom for the wretched of the earth? Sorry, folks, the left didn't really mean it.

Since that remarkable speech, Bush reprised its themes in Britain - where even lefties heard him. His vision has made a stir among Middle Eastern intellectuals. And his arguments have special force, since deeds preceded the words.

But the American intellectual establishment won't give Bush one jot of credit.
