Sajak and the New Republic

I found this article at the New Republic (FRR), via a post on Pat Sajak's blog (yes, the Wheel of Fortune guy) that gives George W. full credit for the work done in the middle east. It's nice to see a liberal finally starting to notice that they're being idiots about how they've been arguing Iraq and various other topics. Both the article, which is rather long, and the blog post are worth reading. Here is a sample from the article.

If George W. Bush were to discover a cure for cancer, his critics would denounce him for having done it unilaterally, without adequate consultation, with a crude disregard for the sensibilities of others. He pursued his goal obstinately, they would say, without filtering his thoughts through the medical research establishment. And he didn't share his research with competing labs and thus caused resentment among other scientists who didn't have the resources or the bold--perhaps even somewhat reckless--instincts to pursue the task as he did. And he completely ignored the World Health Organization, showing his contempt for international institutions. Anyway, a cure for cancer is all fine and nice, but what about AIDS?
