America MUST revise it's foreign policy in the middle east-- a democratic administration that pursues the same general objectives will simply perpetuate the mistakes Bush I, Clinton, and the neocons have made.
My favorite paragraph:
Consequently, it is more likely that Washington will eventually pull back from its dominant role in the Middle East not through a responsible rethinking of U.S. engagement, but through a series of mounting costs and disasters that eventually lead to a "destructive disengagement" from the region that will look like—and to a great extent will be—a U.S. defeat and retreat. This is exactly what seems to be happening now.
