We’ll never know, obviously, but I wonder every time I read stories like this about what the world would look like today if George W. Bush got the “Axis of Evil” right, didn’t invade Iraq, and focused on more pragmatic foreign policy rather than this delusion about establishing a secular democracy in Iraq at the point of a gun while avenging Daddy.

Nuclear proliferation and actual terrorism supporting states like Syria and Afghanistan should’ve been our focus, but instead we have a war that has cost over $500 billion in direct costs.

This is an interesting theory about the state of American technology and some of the gamesmanship going on behind the scenes… curious if any of it is actually on the money. Not sure how we’ll know, exactly.

Good rundown of the deal reached with DPRK. Does Bush have any of his own original ideas? Or does he just borrow them all from Clinton?
