An excellent article by George Soros, The bubble of American supremacy, on why the world is not supporting Bush's war to remove the tyrant Saddam Hussein.
"The problem is that the world is allergic to the Bush doctrine ...(1) The United States will do everything in its power to maintain its unquestioned military supremacy; and (2) the United States arrogates the right to preemptive action. ... the Bush doctrine is not stated starkly; it is buried in Orwellian doublespeak. The doublespeak is needed because the doctrine contradicts American values. "
Very highly recommended. Via Dave Farber's IP list.
