To be more specific, what Democrats have been saying and Mr. Obama is now repeating is that President Bush has alienated America from the Muslim world by attacking Iraq without justification. They obviously believe Muslims have a right to be outraged at us and we need to make amends and show them we are decent people…

Obviously, it doesn’t fit Mr. Obama’s palette of predispositions to recognize that America was not wrong in liberating Iraq – something the self-styled compassionate left should be ashamed to have opposed on humanitarian reasons alone; that we do not torture enemy detainees (Abu Ghraib was not the rule, but an aberration); and that we do the opposite of mistreating prisoners at Gitmo.
