The Powell Doctrine
The Belgravia Dispatch’s Greg Djerejian kindly posts an extended excerpt of a Michael Lind article in the Financial Times. The article’s theme is essentially Colin Powell’s admonitions to “go high or go home” and to rely on military action as the final resort and how ignoring Powell’s doctrine has contributed to the mess we see in Iraq and Afghanistan. It’s interesting analysis for those who prefer their analysis rooted in the real world.
