Political Wire reports that a survey of 1,112 international relations scholars by Foreign Policy magazine finds a remarkable concensus on the war:
Eighty-nine percent of scholars believe that the war will ultimately decrease U.S. security. Eighty-seven percent consider the conflict unjust, and 85 percent are pessimistic about the chances of achieving a stable democracy in Iraq in the next 10-15 years. Nearly all those who responded — 96 percent — view the United States as less respected today than in the past, a sentiment no doubt heavily influenced by the current war.
Georgre Bush was ranked seventh from the bottom among Presidents with regards to foreign policy. The top rankings went to Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Richard Nixon, Bill Clinton, and Ronald Reagan.
