The elites are repulsed by the Bush Doctrine, but it seems to have one advantage: it actually works in the real world. Consider a few Bush victories:
* Iraq is now our ally and a force for stability in the middle east
* France, Germany, England, and Italy are close US allies
* Iran is isolated by the world community
* al-Qaeda is being routed world-wide
* there have been no terror attacks in the US since 9/11/01
and, in the latest development,
* North Korea seems to be moving toward nuclear disarmament
