Utopian cul-de-sac

Bush's take on post-election Iraq was first triumphant, then paralysed.
We should be very worried

President Bush's state of the union address adds the element of
euphoria to the utopianism of his inaugural speech. Coming between the
two speeches, the Iraqi election has given him a significant event over
which to drape his universal abstractions. Who would not want it to be
true that the courageous people of Iraq, as one body, have defied
bloodthirsty fanatics in order to establish a thriving democracy that
will be a beacon to the rest of the Middle East, and that the glow from
that fire will truly light the world?
