Bush Policies Bring More Danger

August 23, 2003

After President Bush signed off on his National Security Strategy, declared Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon to be a "man of peace" and let Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz lead him into invading Iraq, it seemed obvious that the world would become a much more dangerous place. I feel deep sympathy for the many Israelis and Palestinians who genuinely seek peace but who now see this dream crushed by religious extremists.

I feel the same about the Iraqis and our troops there. Bush's mishandling of the truth, distrust of diplomacy and preference for "first strike" military initiatives imperil not just the lives of those we attack but also our own lives and those of our children. It is a mystery how British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who is so smart, could acquiesce in the deception and lack of planning. How long will it take to restore decency, honesty, foresight, courage and credibility in our leadership?
