Gosh, yes. Just imagine what this country would be like if educated
people who actually know things were listened to, rather than just
repeating talking points and attacks. Why, we might actually
accomplish something!

Far better to wallow in ingorance.

A very interesting piece. Fallows pinpoints the reason that Palin's
ignorance of the Bush Doctrine is more troubling than it might appear
on the surface.

Survey US governors the day before the interview, and I'll bet at least 48
would be cluless. It's not like it's a LAW. It's merely a stance that
evolves over the course of an administration.
and, the answer is, if there is *reliable* evidence that we were about to be
attacked, it is the **duty** of our leader to defend.

Well, there it is. But Bush didn't have "reliable" evidence that Iraq
was about to attack, and his invasion wasn't exactly a defense. On the
other hand, when he -did- have reliable evidence on August 8 that "Bin
Laden was poised to attack," he did nothing but tell the briefer he'd
"covered his ass."

I agree, though, that the whole "Bush Doctrine" thing will strike many
voters as inside baseball.
