Bush's Best Laid Plans

"Viewed from a historian's perspective, the Bush administration since 9/11 has ransacked the past to conjure up comforting expectations for the future. President Bush excels in this exercise, expressing confidence that the ?untamed fire of freedom? will one day soon ?reach the darkest corners of our world?. Yet as the assassination of Benazir Bhutto reminds us yet again, events refuse to play along. History remains stubbornly recalcitrant." Bush's policies are promoting tyranny throughout the world, not freedom.
