National Review Online

Charles Krauthammer, talking about the American trillion dollar insurance program for Middle East democracy:

Herewith President Obama’s May 19 Middle East speech, annotated:

It will be the policy of the United States to promote reform across the region, and to support transitions to democracy.

With this Barack Obama openly, unreservedly, and without a trace of irony or self-reflection adopts the Bush Doctrine, which made the spread of democracy the key U.S. objective in the Middle East.

Good idea? Whenever the conservative crowd says yes, then ask then for higher marginal tax rates.
