(2003-04-21) Kinsley On Bush

Michael Kinsley on George W Bush as leader. I still can't tell whether he's being Iron Ic/Sarcast Ic. In polls, a large majority of Americans agreed with Bush that Saddam was a terrible threat and had to go, even though there had been no popular passion for this idea before Bush brought it up. You could call this many things, but one of them is leadership. If real Leadership means leading people where they don't want to go, George W. Bush has shown himself to be a real leader. And he now owns a bit of history to prove it.
