Since America’s “unilateral” invasion of Iraq in March of 2003, it has been fashionable among the liberal and novice foreign policy critics alike to castigate the Bush foreign policy as “Cowboy Diplomacy.” This view of Bush as the Lone Ranger on a quixotic quest, tilting at the windmills of democracy in the Middle East, has [...]

The 2008 Beijing Olympics means a lot more to China than the Salt Lake City Olympics meant to the United States, no matter how much Mitt Romney tries to play up one-half of his political experience.
