...needs to do so in the most direct and efficient way possible in order to minimize the cost to citizens in taxes, inconveniences, and, in this case, blood. While some of the administration’s actions conformed to this principle—shutting down Afghanistan’s terrorist camps through military force and initiating intelligence reform—a sense of self-importance led the administration to embark on a very indirect, inefficient, and decades-long campaign to rid the world of despotic governments and radical Islam and install democratic regimes where either is found...
