More on Bush in Africa
My apologies for the light posting this week. I’ve been down and out with a nasty case of the flu for the last few days. Things will pick back up as I recover from my current zombie status.
In the meantime, you should read this piece on President Bush’s trip to Africa by the Foreign Policy Association’s Robert Nolan. His views in some ways dovetail with mine, though his assessments are perhaps ultimately more charitable than are mine, as I contend that the bar has been set so low with regard to American foreign policy toward Africa that Bush’s mixed record seems perhaps better than it is. Still, it is nice to know that I am not the only person giving the President some respect on this issue, however tepid and begrudging (in my case, at least).
