< Is that a fair summary of your view.> The policy of the Bush Administration is unilateralism. Iraq was the test case. Unilateralism failed. The jury is out on what to do next, but the unilateralist are still in control. We will see. Unilateralism is isolationist. It is not isolationist in the way that is similar to the isolationist policies of the past. It creates a new and unique isolationism -- Bush isolationism. The price of isolationism is steep -- the effectiveness is low. Unilateralism is a bad policy. There is nothing ambigious about the term isolationism -- we chose to approach key foreign policy decisions in a manner guaranteed to isolate us from the rest of the world, and that is where we stand alone today -- isolated.
