A Higher Realism
The most significant thing about President Bush’s inaugural address was the word he did not utter: terror. Until now the war on terrorism has been the administration’s foreign policy paradigm, giving unity and coherence to disparate and morally contradictory policies: promoting democracy in the Middle East, for instance, while ignoring undemocratic practices in Russia and China. One would have expected Bush to make the war on terrorism the theme of his address.
