Quote by Todd Gitlin
The mobilisation which Bush has been able to perform since 11 September 2001 has to be fought - at least by Americans - in the name of a wise, honourable and democratic patriotism.
Summary
This quote suggests that the mobilization efforts led by President Bush after the September 11th attacks need to be opposed, particularly by Americans, but in a way that upholds wise, honorable, and democratic patriotism. It implies that while it is necessary to address the aftermath of the tragedy, it should be done in a manner that respects and upholds democratic values, rather than resorting to actions that undermine fairness, justice, and integrity. The quote's emphasis on wise and honorable patriotism implies a call for a careful and measured response to ensure the preservation of democratic principles.
