Diehl’s article offers President Bush advice to
actually creating a feasible plan to foreign policy instead
of addressing the ‘outline of a global U.S. campaign
against tyranny as merely an ideal’. The plan starts
by focusing on the crucial conflict areas of Pakistan,
Egypt and Russia, where he notes the staunch challenges
of reform are present. However, instead of creating new
wars or shattering relations with allies, the president
should tackle the democratic reform that would assist
the abovementioned countries. For instance, Diehl proposes
developing programs to aid secular civil society groups’
promotion of democracy that would conversely support reform
from within the country. The strategy has proven success
in the Ukraine as the author points out, thus illustrating
clear results of his foreign policy plan.
