Pro-war or pro-Bush?
I think somewhere along the line many of the pro-war lefty bloggers have got someone waylaid, and found themselves being overly supportive of President Bush (Johann Hari has been a fine exception to this). Hopefully articles such as this, from Matthew Yglesias, will remind them exactly what they have been supporting.Of course as Matt notes the opposite can be said too, that many people have been blinded by their hatred of President Bush into opposing a war they may otherwise have supported. However this strikes me as less serious given George Bush is in charge of this war -- i.e part of the reason one dislikes GWB is the well-founded belief that he would do it badly.
