"When Charlie Gibson asked Sarah Palin, "What's the Bush Doctrine?"—of course, she famously got it wrong and he said, in effect, 'You idiot, it's preemption'—I actually felt kind of sympathetic," says James Traub. "I thought the Bush Doctrine was democracy promotion. I do think that if you woke the man up in the middle of the night and said, "What's your legacy?" he would say, "Democracy." I think he really deeply believes that."
