Middle East Democracy

Great stuff from Jonathan Freedland. Hat Tip: The Corner, Instapudit. Admitting that Dubya's policies have had some impact on the impressive scenes in the Lebanon, he warns against dismissing US achievements simply because they come from an unwelcome source.

"We cannot let ourselves fall into the trap of opposing democracy in the Middle East simply because Bush and Blair are calling for it. Sometimes your enemy's enemy is not your friend."

Fair play.
