Dowd has an excellent article
Dowd has an excellent article on Bush family psychodynamics:
[Bush 41's] proudest legacy, after all, was painstakingly stitching together a global coalition to stand up for the principle that one country cannot simply invade another without provocation. Now the son may blow off the coalition so he can invade a country without provocation.
Irving Kristol writes in the upcoming Weekly Standard that Mr. Scowcroft and Mr. Powell are “appeasers” who “hate the idea of a morally grounded foreign policy that seeks aggressively and unapologetically to advance American principles around the world.”
What does that make the old man? The Chamberlain of Kennebunkport?
Who needs a war plan? We need family therapy.
I actually agree with Kristol that “European international-law wishfulness and full-blown Pat Buchanan isolationism are the two intellectually honest alternatives to the Bush Doctrine.” I may be one of the few Americans who support both the ICC and pre-emptive action against Iraq.
