This Is More Like It

The Gadflyer's Jonathan Weiler writes

As much as Bush talks about freedom, an enduring legacy of his presidency will be violence and blood-lust and the price that countless innocents and people of good will have paid for that cheap talk. Many Americans endure life on a perilous sea of uncertainty and threat. Bush, by contrast, lives on a yacht on a body of water whose tranquility is undisturbed unless he instructs his crew to take the yacht out for a joy ride.

Sacrifice is never his own.

This reminds me of an earlier post "The President Does Not Mourn," quoting from E.L. Doctorow.
