This didn't start with Bush
"The problem the administration faced, or rather didn't want to face, was that the calcified order that lay at the root of the problem was the very order that, for nearly six decades, had been shaped, shepherded and sustained by the United States."
Exactly.
Hell, no one wants to face this. Look at what Bush I did in iraq (bombing out infrastructure), and Clinton, (sanctions that lead to hundreds of thousands of deaths).
While at the same time the US. supported Saddam in the Iran-Iraq war.
Its truly mind-boggling. And yes, sad. When we took out Saddam, we just took out the middle-man.
