JS & Thread,
My foreign policy support for Bush is limited to war on terror and perceiving iraq as real threat making it subject to that war. I have made the case that at present there are no other states who need preempting. This doctrine seems to give him carte blanche, a sort of expanded Monroe Doctrine. I will re-read it tomorrow when the market is closed and i am in a better mood. I am not a happy man tonight. I cant believe this document comes out now just as the iraq pressure is mounting with begrudging world support. This will undercut it all. Its true that the US has to be prepared to act but to produce this in writing indicates an arrogance and insensitivity that will lessen wordwide support of even the most benign of US actions. My other thought is that could things actually be so bad that we will move from iraq to iran to syria and of course saudi arabia. And when congress signs off on iraq will it also be signing off on the Doctrine? Will bush not have to go back and get resolutions for the next country. mike
