The “Bush doctrine’ of foreign policy is really very simple: Attack any country that can’t fight back, but don’t rock the boat with any country that might be able to attack the United States. This doctrine isn’t original with George Bush. It is the strategy employed by every schoolyard bully in the world: attack the weak but steer clear of the strong. George Bush believes that you’re either with us or against us. And if you’re with us and powerful, you can do anything you want. But if you’re a small state that can’t fight back, you’re a target ‚Äö√Ñ√¨ and nothing you say can stop the American military machine from overrunning your country.
