We are seeing the bitterness of elites who wish to lead, confronted by multitudes who do not wish to follow.

Quotes from the same author

[D]rawing up 'secret war plans' for a possible attack on Iraq wasn't irrational. The low-level war against Saddam was 12 years old, with no end in sight. American and British pilots were getting shot at, sanctions weren't working, and Bush was getting warnings that Saddam had all those terrible weapons and would use them against America. Bush would have been a fool not to draw up plans. Gee, wait till the critics find out that FDR, without ever informing the media, was plotting to fight Japan and Germany before Pearl Harbor.
 John Leo
You can't run a society or cope with its problems if people are not held accountable for what they do.
