Even Bush seems to think so. During a state dinner he “accidentally” said that Russia’s invasion in Iraq is unjust. Then he corrected himself, smiled, and everybody in the room laughed. It’s absurd that anyone, including Osama himself, can think that the US can be changed for the good without destroying all the institutions and rebuilding.
