Although George W. Bush memorably declared, Im the decider, as president he was remarkably indecisive when it came to U.S. policy toward the IsraeliPalestinian conflict. His administrations policymaking featured an ongoing clash between moderate realists and conservative hard-liners inspired by right-wing religious ideas and a vision of democracy as cure-all.

Produktbeschreibung
Although George W. Bush memorably declared, Im the decider, as president he was remarkably indecisive when it came to U.S. policy toward the IsraeliPalestinian conflict. His administrations policymaking featured an ongoing clash between moderate realists and conservative hard-liners inspired by right-wing religious ideas and a vision of democracy as cure-all. Riven by these competing agendas, the Bush administration vacillated between recognizing the Palestinian right to self-determination and embracing Israeli leaders who often chose war over negotiations. In Indecision Points, Daniel Zoughbie examines the major assumptions underpinning U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East during the Bush years. Was there one policy or two? Was the Bush administration truly serious about peace? In a compelling account, Zoughbie offers original insights into these and other important questions. Drawing on the auhtors own interviews with forty-five global leaders, including Condoleezza Rice, former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, Kofi Annan, Colin Powell, Tom DeLay, Paul Wolfowitz, Douglas Feith, Richard Perle, Leon Panetta, Chuck Hagel, Shlomo Ben Ami, and Salam Fayyad, Indecision Points provides the first comprehensive history of the Bush administrations attempt to reshape political order in a New Middle East.

Rezensionen
"Aptly titled, Indecision Points reveals not only the indecisiveness behind the Bush administrations foreign policy in the Middle East but also its unproductive and even damaging effects on the peace process today. Drawing on compelling interviews, research, analysis, and his own deep knowledge of the issues, Daniel Zoughbie offers his readers an understanding as to why America and the international community at large cannot afford to turn their backs on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict - or even worse, be indecisive about it." - James D. Wolfensohn, Former President of the World Bank and Special Envoy for Gaza Disengagement
