Carter national security advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski pens a scathing op-ed in today’s Los Angeles Times that is highly critical of the Bush administration’s foreign policy. In the same pages, William Shawcross takes a different view. He writes:
Thanks to the coalition Iraqis have more confidence in their future than we do. Iraqi refugees are not fleeing abroad in vast numbers, as happened during previous crises. The Iraqi dinar has strengthened, not weakened, against the currencies of other oil-producing nations. The mistakes that have been made in Iraq since its liberation do not alter the fact that the overthrow of Hussein has given Iraqis a chance they never had before and has shaken the ramshackle, corrupt and dictatorial foundations of the Middle East.
Christopher Hitchens also has a very different perspective than Brzezinski here. Hitchens writes:
