“Turning to a piece which also appeared in the Washington Post written by Bernard Lewis, who is considered by some to be the ultimate authority on conflicts in the Middle East, it is entitled: ``Targeted By a History of Hatred--The United States Is Now the Unquestioned Leader of the Free World, Also Known as the Infidels.'' That is an interesting tie: We are the unquestioned leader of the free world, also known in many parts of the world as the infidels. Put that headline against the statement contained in Jackson Diehl's summary of the Bush position paper authored primarily by Condoleezza Rice, and once again you see the big picture. We do live in a world where we are the only superpower. We have the responsibility to do something with that, and President Bush and his advisers have now come to the conclusion that the ultimate test of how we use our power should be how will it ultimately spread liberty throughout the world. That is the kind of flag to which I can repair. That is the kind of standard I can follow.”
