But I think your analysis is to individual, that is President George W Bush, centric. Would another US president or any other leader in charge of the world's largest power, behave that remarkably different concerning terrorists in sovereign lands? Will Obama cease these attacks? I doubt it. Is this type of tactic dangerous? you bet and at times it will probably back fire, but I find it hard to be sympathetic to a Syrian government unable to police their own territory. If they could take care of their own security threats, we wouldn't need to. That being said the US needs to be cautious in this dangerous game. Back to my main point, Bush is indeed a 'maverick' in many ways, but strategic circumstances determine much of US actions, not just his leadership. Good stuff.
