Greeley can't help but repeat a big lie to open his article.
The left is notorious for doing what they claim not to be doing. Or blaming behavior on others that they are engaged in themselves.

I am really getting sick of this infantile Bush lied stuff. I feel like I am stuck in a room with a bunch of imbeciles who keep saying the same thing over and over. Even if one grants him the point that there was not much more America could do or wanted to do, it does no harm to acknowledge that living under Soviet opprssion was bad and liberation is a cause for rejoicing. It also goes without saying that their security is their own responsibility both then and now, and if they want to be free they'd better wise up and forget about the 35 hour work week and stuff like that.
