If there is a war that could be called moral, right and necessary it is the Iraqi War. The President George W. Bush’s moral height and political responsibility have been largely demonstrated. Instead, his critics have only demonstrated stupidity, vulgar demagogy, and, first of all, moral misery and civic irresponsibility. They are evidently panicked: the success of the republican politics where others have failed before puts infinitely away their return to government. Therefore, they try against all evidence and against the most vital national interests, to convince themselves and others that Bush’s politics don’t work. But they forget (or they simply don’t want to see) that Bush’s politics is not only his own, but the result of objective historical need (let us put it in “Hegelian” words). Moreover, in his specific realization, it is the work of a genial diplomat, Condoleezza Rice, who has succeeded where her predecessors displayed only mediocrity. In any case, History will not change her course for this “politicians in Washington” who desperately fight for their political survival, using the lowest procedures that in the end will harm them.
