The Bush Doctrine

It was a fascinating documentary, very well done and pretty even handed in my assessment. A lot of interesting facts that don't get a lot of reporting. For instance, the way Bush the elder urged the shiites and others in Iraq to rise up and overthrow Saddam at the end of the first Gulf War, only to have us sit on the sidelines and watch them get wiped out by Saddam's forces. Not one of America's finer moments. The Russkies did the same to the Poles in WWII and are hated for it to this day. At least we will have an opportunity now to right that distasteful page in our history.

I didn't see any conclusions in that documentary that would be denied by any conservative on this board or anywhere else. I find it more than a bit scary myself.
