From a pragmatic perspective, one of my many objections to Bush’s Middle East policy has been how it has acted to strengthen Iran and al Qaeda while undermining Democracy movements worldwide. Two different news items today demonstrate that a policy which has acted to strengthen Iran was not the best idea.
The Telegraph reports that Iran is trying to take control of bin Laden’s terror network by training senior al Qaeda operatives in Teheran to assume control when bin Laden is no longer around.
If the prospects of Iran controlling such a terror network aren’t scary enough, unexplained plutonium has been found in a nuclear waste facility in Teheran.
We already know about the progress North Korea has made towards nuclear weapons as a consequence of George Bush’s incompetence. How many will die in upcoming years due to his reckless and insane foreign policy moves?
