I can't speak to how true large parts of this are, but it is a delicious argument. I'm sure it's both too glib to be true in detail but perfectly true in the main.

BTW, this quote:

"The aversion to Bush, at home and abroad, makes us forget how many people support this spokesman for another America sure of its superiority and its values."

Do I accurately recall the Clinton Administration lecturing the rest of the world on civil rights and other issues when they came to office, much to the deep resentment of "old" Europe if I get the details correctly? I'm not saying bad things about Clinton, only pointing out that the confidence in our "superiority and its values" is a common thread in all American politicians regardless of creed.
