This says it better than I could:

"Anyone who wants to prate about their sincerity and their positive
outlook as if it somehow outweighed the foreseeable results of their own
goddam hubris, while the Administration they’ve trusted and its suppporters
to whom they’ve cleaved assert literally unlimited power over what we used
to be able to call citizens, those people need to go fuck themselves.

"In 2002 I was practically begging people, as sweetly as possible, to
comprehend the likely outcome of this folly. I’m not going to spend 2006
trying to impress people who wouldn’t listen then with how chipper I can
be, or sniffling my pious wishes that their harebrained schemes had worked
out a little better..."
