The elections are a “good omen for getting rid of dictatorship,” Yemeni political science student Fathi al-Uraiqi said, chewing khat with friends. “But I hope America is not driven by its own interests but by a genuine desire to spread democracy in the rest of the region.”

So President Bush is cleaning out the CIA and the State Dept. GOOD, about time.
One thing worries me- there are a lot of people who are unhappy with some of the changes Bush is making, people in the State Dept. people in the CIA, European governments, Islamofascists, I’d go so far as to say a lot of Democrats would like to see harm befall the President.
Leftists like to attribute the lack of participation in protests undermining the mission in Iraq as apathy among today’s youth.
It never occurs to them that the root reasons may lie in the fact that people intrinsically know that the war, while regrettable and horrible in its effect locally, is necessary and altogether necessary and an absolute good in its goals and final effects on the world at large.
Why isn’t the Gannon story getting the play the Eason Jordan story got (other than the obvious fact that Gannon is a nobody while Jordan /was/ arguably one of the most powerful media execs in the world?

“The idea of a liberal media bias is simply a stupid stupid lie made up by the conservative media about the good medias out there. If only it were true, we might have a more open-minded public debate on the issues facing the country instead of idiot conservative ideas I don’t even want to hear or get into, they are so stupid. Everything good that has happened in this country is founded on the ideology of Democrat liberalism. Liberals in the past were liberators who fought for a woman’s right to kill her fetus, and except for all the Southern Democrats fought to end segregation in the United States.”
