I have not read the article, but I agree with the premise. The Iraq invasion will be looked back upon as the day America lost its status as the moral superpower. Since that decision, people began to give far more weight to Putin, Chavez, hard-liners in China, and anyone else who took a more principled and honest stance at the time. Bush tried to make the world black and white, but instead made it far more grey.
