Hi, I am not sure about which semantic nuance the word "alone" impleis here. Does it mean that nothing more is needed, just policy debates are enough to obscure the idealism?
"As had been the case in 2001– 2002, the policy debates alone obscure the idealism of the US intervention. Obama and his team favored a self- described “realist” foreign policy, stripped of the moralistic rhetoric of Bush that had justified wars and destruction."
