VIA VIRGINIA POSTREL, I also found this article by Walter Russell Mead on Bush foreign policy:

Despite the public disagreements between the Pentagon and the State Department, the most striking thing about this administration’s foreign policy is its intellectual consistency. The ideas that Condoleezza Rice, the national security adviser, outlined in a Foreign Affairs article in 2000 shape the administration’s foreign policy today. In particular, Ms Rice laid down an approach to multilateralism versus unilateralism to which the administration has returned at every important moment since – and that forms the basis of the new US national security strategy.

This is absolutely right. I was reading that article just the other night, and planning to do a post on it. Now I don’t have to.
