The presumption from the beginning of this war has been that any country can be brought to it knees with a strong enough show of force. This seems to be the only model the Bush administration knows. Once having embarked on a blood and awe path in the name of freedom, it is on the verge of being the last holdout in the world to claim its policy as a success. "The more progress we make in Iraq, the more desperate the terrorists will become," says Bush, when the truth is that the more of a mess the Bush administration makes of Iraq, the more desperate the Bush administration becomes. The symbols of failure are all around us. Pick your favorite: the UN headquarters and the Jordanian embassy in Iraq being bombed, soldiers being killed everyday, the skyrocketing oil price, the widespread assumption that Bush lied us into this war, the growing popularity of Saddam and Osama in the Muslim world, the growing radicalism of Muslim youth worldwide, the rising anger of families of US servicemen and women. Any one of these means failure of the Bush policy, and no amount of protest from paid spokesmen is going to change that. lewrockwell.com CC
