Link(s)? Did some of these articles appear in The National Interest or Foreign Affairs, part of lectures series, or some such?

Well, I'd take our "nation-building" record over that of England, France, Holland, and the other worthless European nations who tried for decades to "nation-build" in Africa and other parts of the world. It was the European idiots who cobbled together Iraq back in the 1920s.

America bashing is nothing more than leftist navel-gazing.

You do realize Francis Fukuyama is one of the leading Neo-Cons evar right? This isn't left wing propaganda, it is a good hard examinantion of what we are doing and what is working and what isn't. If anything, it has a right wing tilt.
