A few days ago, Iran announced that it will never again suspend its uranium conversion projects at its nuclear power plants. Uranium conversion is the step before enrichment, the process that produces material that can be used for both reactor fuel or an atomic bomb.
President Bush responded that, if diplomacy fails, "all options are on the table." He then said: "The use of force is the last option for any president. You know, we've used force in the recent past to secure our country."
Screw realism, neo-conservatism, isolationism, idealism, or any other of the various foreign policy philosophies that have fallen in and out of favor over the course of America’s history. Apparently, our entire foreign policy is based on the notion that we are a bunch of crazy mother-fuckers. Or as the textbooks call it, crazy mother-fuckerism.
