Bush fighting Back
Powerline provides great commentary on the President finally starting to fight back against his fraudulent critics. I agree with Powerline that Bush should start attacking these critics every few days at the very least. However, I would go further. There are numerous comments made by Democrats over the last few years that are "unbecoming" an American, which were ignored by the MSM. Bush needs to start bringing these up as well. Some great examples are the trips to Iraq taken by McDermot prior to the war and the statements by Ted Kennedy and Dick Durbin.
I don't know if waiting to respond to false attacks was a strategy by Bush. If it was it seems misguided. However, if Bush plans to withdraw troops in 2006, then the strategy makes more sense. Bush wants to be on the upswing when annoucing such decisions. Withraw from strength, not weakness.

Does Conservative magazine offer policy suggestions on how to deal with nuclear proliferation. I would like to hear them.
A policy suggestion on what to do about a real problem? You must be joking.
I think that article sums up the Paleocon idea for middle-east democracy. That arabs cannot function in a democracy.
In my opinion, this view reveals a general misunderstanding of humanity - the view that people of different creeds and races behave differently in their basic psychology is the fundamental flaw in paleocon thinking.
As I have said before, if this is your view, then of course, the whole Iraq policy is a mistake.
Go read some Thucydides or ancient Chinese history and you will learn that people generally behave in the same way and always will (which is why you will always have stock market bubbles too!)
I certainly agree that the Mideast has become more dangerous. The US armed forces are killing scores of jihadists weekly. It is much more dangerous for them than it use to be.
(Oh. And still waiting for a positive policy recommendation. Cricket chirp. Cricket chirp. Cricket chirp.)
