United States's interference with other nations...

However, never under Clinton or Bush 41 have our global "influence" or actions been this staunch. This current administration's global policy choices have the most far-reaching and generally talked about, lauded/criticized, analyzed, etc. This Administration's actions have been the most far-reaching and internationally causal in recent history. Not since Reagan have we seen such aggressive foreign policy.
Clinton, Bush 41, Carter, etc. could not be / have not been accused of actions with such scope and global implications. Yes, they all made decisions dealing with foreign policy, but they did not go about, as Bush has, on a campaign of imposition of American will across the globe. Yes, it might seem "fair and balanced" to bring up the past 18 presidents on foreign policy matters, but Bush's have been the most public, the most relevant, and the most glaring examples of foreign intervention...so unfortunately, the "Bush bashing" very much has a place in this thread.
Insofar as this board exists to discuess theory, history, etc., it is also very much tied to current events. Your insistence that we must ignore Bush in this thread is tantamount to me asking that Christianity and Islam be ignored in a study of world religions. It simply isn't practical or efficacious.

I am not saying we "Must ignore Bush", i am saying that there is a larger picture here. If you don't know your history, how can you discuss current events?
And you cannot really compare leaving out in a religious conversation Christianity and Islam, timeless elements, to a more time-based element like president Bush in a discussion of foreign policy. It simply does not make sense. Christianity and Islam dont come around every 4-8 years, then disappear forever. They have been here for over 1400 years each and will continue to exist for hundreds of years to come.
Just because we have the internet and 100s of TV channels, and so much more information is readily available, does NOT mean that "Bush's [foreign policy matters] have been the most public, the most relevant, and the most glaring examples of foreign intervention". That is simply your own interpretation, which you are all but refusing to compare to other presidents or foreign leaders.
