This letter is associated with the following article:
The American right has embraced Bush's catastrophic war in the name of "moral clarity." But where is it written that conservatives have to be stupid?
  • Conservatism is a failed ideology. Please reexamine premise

    Bush is the culmination of Conservative policies and ideology. The problem was not that Bush wrecked conservatism its that conservatism has too many flawed ideas. Please expand your view from just an Bush/USA centric viewpoint and look around the world or history. Examples Thatcherism, Pinochet in Argentina, Iraq "free market reforms", Reagan trickle down economics, the Great Republican Depression etc... It demonstrates failures in this ideology. Your article suggest Bush "broke" conservatism but Bush is just using "broken or flawed" principles the outcome was preordained.
