17. America Unbound by Ivo Daalder and James M. Lindsay


I don't need to read any more books about why Bush decided to wage war on Iraq because nobody appears to know why. The reasons are variously: (a) revanche! for Saddam trying to kill his father; (b) to help American oil interests; (c) because he really believed that Iraq had WMDs; (d) because after 9/11 he had no policy and invading Iraq was the only choice on the table; (e) because he really believes that he can democratize the middle east and tame fundamentalist Islam.

Bush himself may not even know why.

This book does not add anything new to the picture.

Because he's a puppet. He barely knows how to dress himself.

Now that you've exhausted this subject matter, perhaps you should turn your wisdom and research skills towards an issue that has bothered you for decades: Daylight Savings Time. I, for one, would like to know why we don't just make it DST all the time and how realistic are these proposals to at least extend it.
