Cutting through Inaugural rhetoric

[iamthewalrus109]

Today in Pat Buchanan's WorldNet daily article he cuts through one of the biggest inconsistencies of the new and improved Bush doctrine as stated in his inaugural address of 1/20/2005, saying:

"President Bush is championing a policy of interventionism in the internal affairs of every nation on earth. But did we not learn from 9-11 that intervention is not a cure for terrorism, it is the cause of terrorism.

Clearly, the president does not understand this, or believe it. For, in his inaugural, he describes 9-11 as the day "when freedom came under attack." But Osama bin Laden did not dispatch his fanatics to ram planes into the World Trade Center because he hated our Bill of Rights. He did it because he hates our presence and our policies in the Middle East."

This is a telling observation, one with which I agree. Bush's intnent has a far greater reach than say, Woodrow Wilson. Buchanan ends the article aptly noting that such a policy will end only in dissillusionment and grief for the people of the United States.
