We have utterly failed to provide leadership in the middle east, broadly defined. We failed to finish what we started in Afghanistan. We failed to be honest about the motivation to invade Iraq. We failed to be honest about the likely consequences of invading Iraq. We failed to secure Iraq and we failed to restore conditions for a functioning civil society in Iraq. We also failed to be even-handed in dealing with issues relating to Israel. The string of failures that are indeed directly within our own areas of responsibility have been nothing short of catastrophic for us -- and have only benefitted and nurtured terrorists, chaos and filled rivers of blood. If you can't look this mess square in the eye, it is doubtful you will have he stomach or the courage to commit to a new and more promising approach.
