President Bush possesses what Mr. Stanage does not--courage. That means saying and doing what one thinks is right--even in the face of relentless opposition.
The poor opinion of the United States in the world is due partly to vicious media coverage, and partly to ignorance. I prefer the opinion of a shop owner in Ramadi, quoted by the New York Times: "Al Qaeda--bad. United States--good." He's smarter than Mr. Stanage's pals; indeed, smarter than most of Europe. Strange, how opinions can change when one's life is on the line.
