Bush Does Too Well -- Is Fired.

The Anchoress has a thought-provoking post up called "The Woman in the Black Hijab." Read it all. One section really struck me as being right on.

Perhaps President Bush had done his job too well. After a recession and a terror attack and two wars we find our economy in rip-roaring shape. Jobs up. Housing starts up. Restaurants full. Theaters full. Highways crammed with new cars. All of your kids have iPods, whether they need them or not. All of John Kerry's supporters have his bumper stickers on their Beemers. America is not suffering. Mostly.

This election is so close precisely because Bush has done so well. We have regressed to our comfortable "can't touch us" mindset. Only another attack would bring us to our senses and remind us of the stakes in our war against terror.
