Re: America under Bush, a force for good or a rogue nation?
No, it's not a force for good. No, it never really was. No, the sole alternative is not that it's a "rogue nation". Sometimes it has been; since 2000 in particular. Yet even its current phase is not the worst period, as far as vicious bloody-minded disregard for the welfare and freedom of people it victimizes; the incursions into Mexico and the Philippines seem at least as bad, all things considered.
On the other hand, looking out for #1 isn't tantamount to being a rogue nation, as others have pointed out.
