And yet you say the Iranian and Nicaraguan Revolutions did provoke
such a split in the US ruling class. I don’t it recall the elite
and the American people being as agonized or as divided then as
they are now over the war in Iraq. This is the biggest foreign
policy crisis the US has experienced since Vietnam
No kidding. Madeleine Albright, who’s hardly a radical, describes the
invasion of Iraq as the biggest foreign policy disaster in U.S.
history. The Woodward book also suggests a major division. But the
anxious sorts don’t have much of a political vehicle to work with.
