"Long live the other America, and may this one pass away soon"

That's a line from this article, in the Daily Telegraph. Entitled "I loathe America, and what it has done to the rest of the world", it's about the feelings that America's actions have provoked in western liberals - both the hatred at what America has done, and the guilt at feeling such things about a country whose founding values we appreciate. It closes with the following:

I hate feeling this hatred. I have to keep reminding myself that if Bush hadn't been (so narrowly) elected, we wouldn't be here, and none of this would have happened. There is another America. Long live the other America, and may this one pass away soon.

Amen to that.
