If Bush can't deal with allies, how can
we expect him to run a war? 03/11/2003 01:59 PM
Noted neoconservative Fred Kaplan has a great article in Slate where he asks the question that so many others are asking:

If the administration lacks the acumen or persuasive power to deal with such familiar institutions as the U.N. Security Council or the established governments of France, Germany, Turkey, Russia, China—even Canada—then how is it going to handle Iraq's feuding opposition groups, Kurdish separatists, and myriad ethno-religious factions, to say nothing of the turbulence throughout the region?

Kaplan concludes, as do I:

It is becoming increasingly and distressingly clear that, however justified the coming war with Iraq may be, the Bush administration is in no shape—diplomatically, politically, or intellectually—to wage it or at least to settle its aftermath. It is hard to remember when, if ever, the United States has so badly handled a foreign-policy crisis or been so distrusted by so many friends and foes as a result.

I wonder what it means for such a noted neocon to come out against the Bush administration on the fundamental issue of competence. Maybe the Republican wall in front of Bush will finally crack, and Republican legislators will put their duty as citizens in front of their party loyalties. One can always hope. I highly recommend the article , even if it is in Slate.
