Obviously, I am not happy about the election results.  I suspect that within six months there will be many people not happy with the election results, but that will come later.  It’s one thing to be criticized for a policy that does not work or a bad decision–that is understandable and should be part of the political dialogue, but we need to stop personally attacking our leaders–regardless of which party they belong to.  The good news is that the media will be much kinder to Barack Obama than they were to George Bush–which brings me to an article in today’s Wall Street Journal Online.  It should be remembered that our enemies during the cold war felt that they could destroy a country by destroying its leader.  We may be in danger of falling into that trap.
