Dear Mr. Bush: An open letter from Mikhail Gorbachev to the President-elect cautions that U.S. bullishness is bad for American and world security. “…the post-Cold War period ushered in hopes that are now faded. Over the course of the past decade, the United States has continued to operate along an ideological track identical to the one it followed during the Cold War — but now without a cold war…Isn’t is amazing that disarmament move further along during the last phase of the Cold War than during the period after its end? And isn’t that because U.S. leadership has been unable to adjust to the new European reality…(which) has placed Europe on the world scene as a new, independent and powerful player(?)” Washington Post

And some further advice about Losing before you start: “George Bush is undoubtedly about to embark on a stupid and
disastrous war in Latin America.” Guardian
