It wasn't as painful as I expected, but I still find the hypocrisy stunning. All of this talk of freedom and being a force for good in the world is taking place amid the backdrop of tomorrow's Senate vote on Alberto "the Torture Guy" Gonzales' nomination for Attorney General.
And all of the cheers for the Iraqi elections. I'm happy for the Iraqis too, but what about the 1,400+ Americans and the 15,000+ Iraqis who have died so far for that election to take place? It's hard not to feel ambivalent.
