A friend of mine pointed me to the article "Why Did We Destroy Iraq?" by Paul Craig Roberts. The article is, as the title suggests, an angry diatribe against our current Iraq policy. As criticism of the Iraq policy, it is nothing new nor is it particularly well reasoned. However, what is striking is that the article is published on the NewsMax website. NewsMax is a conservative website founded by Christopher Ruddy, who is best known for his work on the Arkansas Project.
Although Roberts has been against the Iraq war from the start, it is revealing to see the gap that is widening between the President and the so called paleo-cons on the one side, and the divide between the President and the neo-cons on the other. Iraq has certainly come between President Bush and the legacy of Ronald Reagan.
