you have left out Bush's own decisions.

I have to confess that I still have no real sense of just what to think about the role Bush is playing in his administration's foreign policy. He clearly has absolute authority, little knowledge of the world, and strong feelings about it. 9/11 turbocharged the first and third. He also clearly seems to think he's in full control and operating from the highest of motives. Whether those latter two judgments are correct is very hard to say from the outside, since there are some very smart, very powerful people jockeying for position underneath him and manipulating both of those features to further their own agendas. Anyway, given all this I am not comfortable offering strong opinions about what impact he himself has had on things.
