"I detest Disneyfication, I detest Coca-Cola, I detest burgers, I detest sentimental and violent Hollywood movies that tell lies about history.
I detest American imperialism, American infantilism, and American triumphalism about victories it didn't even win . . .
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."

-- Margaret Drabble in The Daily Telegraph (London) and reprinted by International Herald Tribune, May 9, 2003
