"... the worst foreign policy regime by far in the history of the republic."
In Salon today you'll find one of the more biting recent commentaries on the diplomatic damage done by the Bush presidency. It comes from Roger Morris, who resigned from Nixon's National Security Council over the invasion of Cambodia. Here's the gist:
You serve the worst foreign policy regime by far in the history of the republic. The havoc you feel inside government has inflicted unprecedented damage on national interests and security. As never before since the United States stepped onto the world stage, we have flouted treaties and alliances, alienated friends, multiplied enemies, lost respect and credibility on every continent. You see this every day. And again, whatever your politics, those of you who have served other presidents know this is an unparalleled bipartisan disaster. In its militant hubris and folly, the Bush administration has undone the statesmanship of every government before it, and broken faith with every presidency, Democratic and Republican (even that of Bush I), over the past half century.
