Few will mourn the end of the Bush Administration, yet many fail to realize that his legacy has long-term implications. ++ Beside operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, Bush has managed to shift the path of America’s foreign policy. ++ Defining an “age of terror” with a “global war” as a response, promulgating preemptive war, and making power projection a matter of defense are only a few examples. ++ Bush critics are now debating how both presidential candidates may promote or reshape this new, rather malignant alignment.
