Why do they hate you?
John Podhoretz:
..."Why do they hate you, Mr. President?" a British journalist asked yesterday during a press conference. "Why do they hate you in such numbers?"
"After listening to Bush's speech and considering the views expressed by the protestors and others, I have one possible answer: They hate him because he calls their values into question.
"The Bush-haters are moralistic poseurs. The man they hate is a moral actor. They condemn barbarity. He does something about it. They call him a monster, a villain, a Hitler. In response, he celebrates the fact that they live in societies that permit free speech.
"He is a giant.
"They are dwarves."
