#7. Same Old Bush Foreign Policy
Bush theorizes that over time, “people will respect the resolve” of the US’s military efforts in Iraq. He has also stated that the US should encourage regime change in Iran and that military options should be left on the table to do so. In 1997, Bush signed the New American Century Statement of Principles, which in part stated that “we need to accept responsibility for America’s unique role in preserving and extending an international order friendly to our security, our prosperity, and our principles.”
