GW Bush Iraq invasion has Handcuffed President Obama on Options against Russia

For over two hundred years, America refrained from the practice of unilaterally invading a sovereign nation. It was part of our national DNA not to partake in preemptive war and as such we were on firm moral footing to call out the very kind of aggressive conduct the Russians are engaging in Ukraine.
We do not have those unimpeachable credentials, now - and we do not have them because President George W. Bush launched a preemptive war against a sovereign nation not to protect American lives and interests, but rather what one could strongly argue was more accurately the satisfaction of a personal vendetta.
The final analysis must reflect  that the Bush administration’s decision to invade Iraq in 2003, without cause or justification, perhaps forever weakened America’s position to call out other nations for unprovoked aggression. Inescapably, that puts President Obama and American prestige in the untenable position it is today.
