Think Again: Bush's Foreign Policy

__________________________________________

By Melvyn P. Leffler*
Foreign Policy
September/October 2004 Issue

"Not since Richard Nixon's conduct of the war in Vietnam has a U.S. president's foreign policy so polarized the country-and the world. Yet as controversial as George W. Bush's policies have been, they are not as radical a departure from his predecessors as both critics and supporters proclaim. Instead, the real weaknesses of the president's foreign policy lie in its contradictions: Blinded by moral clarity and hamstrung by its enormous military strength, the United States needs to rebalance means with ends if it wants to forge a truly effective grand strategy."
