ABSTRACT
Many books end with an attempt to summarize, integrate, critique, or recreate the gist of the chapters that went before. I will not attempt to do that: it would be almost impossible to do so with such a diverse set of topics and viewpoints. Instead, I shall consider the five aspects of the Bush Doctrine with which we began?thoughts and musings that have certainly been influenced by the experts who contributed to the book. Parenthetically, Stanley Renshon and I hope that, no matter either the reader’s original or current opinion of President George W. Bush, the Doctrine, or the administration’s strategies, those opinions and their underlying knowledge have also been affected in some way by reading the book.
