El Opinador Compulsivo

Max Boot:

"FOR THE last five years the standard critique of Bush administration foreign policy has run as follows: The president did a great job of rallying the nation after 9/11 and of toppling the Taliban. But then he blundered by invading Iraq and trying to spread democracy at gunpoint. He should have concentrated on working with other countries to track down terrorists.

The reality — or so it seems to me — is nearly the opposite. Bush has done a good job of capturing or killing "evil-doers," but he hasn't done enough to addresses the root causes of their actions."
