Emotionally-determined policy-making

  • Foreign policy through whims of leadership
  • Personal bias in policy initiatives

Claim

In the Gulf, Panama and Somalia, George Bush as President of the USA acted out of immediate personal emotions: anger and a sense of betrayal with respect to Manuel Noriega and Saddam Hussein and compassion concerning the afflicted in Somalia. Such emotions do not make for responsible policy-making.
