I think we can all agree that none of us acts out of any single motive... and that there is no one who knows himself well enough to be aware of all of his motives. Despite what this war cost our family -- it'll be three years tomorrow since Wes was killed in action -- I'm willing to give Bush the benefit of the doubt where it comes to motives. He very well may believe he's doing the right thing. But I don't really know, nor do I much care. But I think I'd be treating myself badly if I didn't allow myself to have some degree of compassion, even for someone whose politics I despise. That's where I diverge from the anti-war folks who demonize the administration.
