John Stewart, on his show last night, was quoted as saying to Newsweek writer Fareed Zakaria:
“I’ve watched this thing unfold from the start and here’s the great fear that I have: What if Bush, the president, ours, has been right about this all along? I feel like my world view will not sustain itself and I may, and again I don’t know if I can physically do this, implode.
Would it be so horrible for the Bush bashers to imagine that this who Iraq thing is bigger than their hatred and that perhaps good things can come from all of this? What if other Arab countries see Iraqi’s cheering in the streets, not over the death of someone, but for a positive event and imagine that kind of future for themselves?
