Interesting reaction to Bush's speech
By Tom Smith
I listen to KPBS and watch PBS on TV partly to know what the American left-liberal is thinking. Interesting to me is, in spite of no doubt scouring the ground for experts critical of Bush and asking leading questions, neither the
Lehrer News Hour nor All Things Considered could get any of their Arab commentators to say anything very negative about Bush's speech. In fact, they all endorsed Bush's vision for democracy in the Middle East, and only added "don't forget the Palestinians." It speaks poorly for the left in the US and Europe if they have to throw in with Islamo-fascists in order to find people who enthuastically reject the Bush Doctrine for the Middle East.
