Sullivan is despondent

Everybody go read FDR's speech: "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself."

This panic is unseemly. We need more mental toughness to fight this war. We have a problem in Abu Ghraib that we need to fix and be seen to fix. But the opinions we should be worrying about come from two countries: America and Iraq. The other Arabs will seethe and hurl accusations, just as they will gloat the next time some insurgents burn Americans alive. It's what they do and we're not going to change it anytime soon. It is curious, that Sullivan sounds more upset than most of the Iraqi bloggers, except the ones who hated us from the beginning like Riverbend. Of course, Iraqis know that most of the guys on the receiving end in Abu Ghraib were Saddam's thugs, a little factoid that our media has managed to miss.
