Of course, I think (know) that Bush is a big idiot.

That said, though, I'm all for invading Iraq and installing a democratic regime with protections for civil liberties and human rights (though I don't know if that's what Bush will do). And let's not stop there--there are scores of countries that deserve the same treatment.

I'm very much a leftist--but one place where I totally find myself at odds with other leftists is on these kinds of issues. I'm all for using the military to liberate the oppressed peoples of the world, and I'm sick of those who make the left look like naive wimps, always wanting to leave dictators in power rather than spill any blood.

But the choices should not be "support Bush, or be anti-war." Why not support war, but have a totally different policy and mindset toward it?
