Peace in the Middle East??

David Brooks today made the case today that Bush's policy in the Middle East is actually really smart and that it has played a major role in leading to an increased outlook for peace in the region. Maybe his case is convincing. I don't know about you, but I can think of one tiny little omission that Brooks makes no mention of. It's called Iraq. Perhaps you've heard of it. But then again, it's not like anything's happened there in the past 24 hours to make you think that American foreign policy in the Middle East is in trouble.
