I bet that's what Lyndon B. Johnson said. Actually, no. LBJ was tormented internally by his decision, because he acted without any moral compass. He did what he thought was right, but once popular opinion turned against him, he was unable step up and complete the task because he wasn't SURE he was right. Bush shows no signs of anything remotely similar to this. He is able to move against popular opinion only because he is certain of the righteousness of his actions. There are, over time, only a few leaders about whom this can be said. For the most part, you know who they are -- those who we recognize as "great". a leader brings his people together and joins with his allies to fight a common enemy. People will come together in due time. The French and Germans are off on their own, unrelated jaunt -- with different objectives. They are simply trying to prove their respective manhoods by standing up to the United States, the lone superpower.
