Tom Junod writes an article in Esquire.com about his hatred for Bush. He has enough intellectual honesty to get past emotion.
The money quote:
As easy as it is to say that we can't abide the president because of the gulf between what he espouses and what he actually does , what haunts me is the possibility that we can't abide him because of us—because of the gulf between his will and our willingness. What haunts me is the possibility that we have become so accustomed to ambiguity and inaction in the face of evil that we find his call for decisive action an insult to our sense of nuance and proportion.
Sometimes I think we are acting like children. "Is the war over yet? I'm tired of this war. I want to go back to when airplanes didn't fly into buildings."
