The U.S. dragged its feet in recognizing their independence, and Bush's critics wondered why he had taken so long. In diplomatic terms, Bush's ! caution was understandable, but it hurt him among conservative Republicans, who are looming ever larger in White House political thinking as rightist political columnist Patrick Buchanan prepares for a presidential...
