Again, I’ve found the Economist to provide a useful prospective on my own country, in this case with their examination of the “new “Bush defense doctrine in both an article and an op-ed on the realities behind the much-critique doctrine of preemptive action. The Bush administration has gotten better at explaining itself, especially with Iraq and the UN, but they still need to work on getting the real significance of their work through the media’s thick, collective skull. Of course, they cannot be held entirely responsible for the incomprehension of the media and academia!

Believe it or not, these op-eds are about the same topic. The difference is Ann Coulter is a raving lunatic. My roommate, Jerry had this to say:

“That first op-ed was pretty good. It’s amazing how he’s been reworking himself. From liberator of Kuwait and the intelligent, ethical [veep] of Clinton, to this ranting populist who takes tips from ultra-feminists on how to be a man (n/j, he paid Naomi Wolf as a consultant to help him act more masculine).”
