Apparently “Cowboy” Diplomacy IS Dead

This is a good article about the reversal of the Bush Doctrine (yuck, wiki). The last two paragraphs sum it up quite nicely:

The only thing not on the table here is terrorism. That, after all, might upset the Iranians. Mustn't do that. So basically, it's: Here are valuable concessions we'll give you if you'll just tell us you're going to stop trying to build nukes and let the ever-dependable IAEA police the arrangement. On Hezbollah, al Qaeda, Hamas, and the Iraqi insurgency: No action required.

Of course, the underlying logic of the Bush Doctrine was that rewarding terrorists and their rogue state benefactors with negotiations and concessions inevitably encourages more of their barbarism. Firmness is the only language they understand. As top terror recipients of Iran's largesse wage war with Israel, it's worth asking whether we've forgotten that.

So what happened to that "Axis of Evil"? Umm, hey Mr. Hitler, could you please stop working on nukes and pull your troops out of Poland? If you don't, we'll be very mad!

Time for some well deserved criticism from the org.

Bush was never a real cowboy anyway. IMPOSTER!
