[Peace-discuss] Eight years too late...

[C. G. Estabrook]

Actually, the 2000 Bush-Cheney platform was in ways a good one: e.g., no "nation-building," which meant a rejection of the Clinton-Gore administration's illegal war in Serbia, designed to bring a recalcitrant state in the greater Middle East into the neoliberal orbit.  

Of course, as with all successful presidential candidates, their platform has zero correlation with what they did in office -- or intended to do.  --CGE
