profiИнтересная статья известного американского консервативного комментатора и писателя Марка Хелприна об итогах двух каденций правления Буша. Сдается мне, что ему внешнеполитические "наработки" бушевской команды неоконов совсем не симпатичны. Впрочем, и демократам хороших слов он тоже не находит.
Несколько цитат.
The administrations of George W. Bush have virtually assured such a displacement by catastrophically throwing the country off balance, both politically and financially, while breaking the nation's sword in an inconclusive seven-year struggle against a ragtag enemy in two small bankrupt states....
The Right should have labored to exhaustion to forge a coalition, and the Left should have been willing to proceed without one. The Right should have been more respectful of constitutional protections, and the Left should have joined in making temporary and clearly defined exceptions. In short, the Right should have had the wit to fight, and the Left should have had the will to fight.
Резко. Но (ИМХО, подчеркиваю!) - во многом справедливо.
