He's really smart in some ways...

but Walter Williams don't know shit about foreign policy. Just one of his errors is thinking that Libya gave up its weapons programs due to Bush's wars. Libya had been trying for a few years to get out of the doghouse, we just hadn't let them until recently. I guess you could argue that neither Bush nor Clinton felt they could let Libya back into the family of nations without a Nixon-to-China type of situation, but if that's the argument, say it. Most likely, Williams just swallowed the administration claim unquestioningly that they basically put the fear of Bush into Qaddafi.
