Attacking the right-wing policymakers who were previously his colleagues, Fukuyama argues that the Bush administration is applying the principles of neoconservatism wrongly. Certain interpretations of this ideology helped America during the Cold War, but during the 1990s the principles were used to justify a foreign policy that led to the war in Iraq. Setting out the legacy of the neocons, Fukuyama shows how American political leaders underestimated the foreign hostility that the war in Iraq would cause and difficulties of reconstruction. And, with his usual sharpness in analyzing international politics, he connects the problems in Iraq to wider trends, including recent revolutions in Eastern Europe.
