John Ikenberry at TPMCafe’s America Abroad: “Now is the time for an honest post mortem of Bush foreign policy. Bush foreign policy has failed not just because of incompetence or bad luck in Iraq. The entire intellectual edifice of Bush foreign policy â such as it is â is deeply flawed. And letâs be clear. The Bush administrationâs grand strategy is not simply a variation on earlier postwar liberal internationalist grand strategies â as some conservatives and liberals suggest. It was a radical departure from Americaâs postwar liberal hegemonic orientation â and the world has bitten back.”
