"Bush Doctrine 2.0?" :: CSP
The first term of the George W. Bush presidency and what has come to be known as the "Bush Doctrine" were marked by a profound and forceful reaction to September 11, 2001. Determined to prevent further, murderous attacks on the United States, Mr. Bush and his national security team were determined to "drain the swamps" from whence terrorists received safe havens and other forms of support. Out went the sort of "stability" born of accommodations with totalitarians and favored by the foreign policy establishment's so-called "realists." In came a U.S. commitment to bringing down the "axis of evil," in favor of a world ordered by liberty and democracy.
