Charles krauthammer sounds the clarion. He has, more than ever before, boldly articulated as succinctly and vividly as possible the meaning, contours, limits, and necessity of neo-conservative foriegn policy or, the Bush Doctrine. Guaranteed to get some people really ticked off. In fact, he just wrote its unofficial and public manifesto. Tid bit:

The Iraqi elections had one final effect. They so acutely embarrassed foreign critics, especially in Europe, that we began to see a rash of headlines asking the rhetorical question: Was Bush Right? The answer to that is: Yes, so far. The democratic project has been launched, against the critics and against the odds. That in itself is an immense historical achievement. But success will require maturation--a neoconservatism of discrimination and restraint, prepared to examine both its principles and its practice in shaping a truly governing philosophy.

His detractors will have a field day.
