The Bush administration may be pursueing a questionable foriegn policy but I don't think the folks at LEW have a clue as to why. Isolation isn't a credible alternative to invasion.

If U.S. politicians and Americans doing business abroad would promote limited government, individual liberty, and the relatively unfettered right of individuals to own personal, real, and intellectual property, average Americans would pay a lot less in taxes, we'll have more prosperous markets for our products, and we won't have to deal with terrorists sponsored by totalitarian socialist states.

Promoting the importance of professional politicians and national elections so the winners can wield the awesome power of government will only produce more Saddams and Mugabes. I'd like to hear Bush and his senior aides promoting individual liberty and property rights instead of professional politicians and national elections. But it's kind of hard for an administration to promote individual liberty abroad at the same time it's condemning America's children to a lifetime of slavery to professional politicians in Washington D.C. because of severe intergenerational taxation inequities.
