Hitch nails it again. While justifiably taking America to task for our timid response to Islam Karimov's Abidjan massacre, he also notes that liberals are now proponents for a sweeping agenda of regime change.
They [Bush's critics] are, at any rate ostensibly, demanding that we use our influence to amend Uzbekistan's internal affairs. So it seems as if, when all the rhetoric is examined, the regime-change position is only being criticized for its inconsistency. That strikes me as progress of a kind.
