Andrew Sullivan, less than one week after 9/11:
The middle part of the country - the great red zone that voted for Bush - is clearly ready for war. The decadent Left in its enclaves on the coasts is not dead - and may well mount a fifth column.
Andrew Sullivan, today:
I have come to realize these past few years that I was blind to this streak among some neocons, their actual love of war, and hegemony, their suppressed desire to strike back at their perceived enemies - blacks, Arabs, liberals - sometimes literally. In that context, their support for torture makes more sense, doesn't it?
