I think Noonan's got it all wrong. Reagan's election broke the sleeve of bipartisan foreign policy arrangements ever so slightly, more in rhetoric than in practice. But Bush II's foreign policy breaks that much more definitively. Whether one likes this or not. Since the consensus is gone, the reactions of Clinton and Carter are understandable, even muted. My own guess is that the only thing that keeps Ford from so commenting is Bush's Republican Party ties and, of course, Bush I is not going to say a bad thing. So it's up to the dems to defend the previous bipartisan consensus. Will be interesting to see tek's comments on this.
