I love the mindless people who will believe whatever the pretty lady on the TV tells them. Foreign policy is not black and white, and decisions which are made based upon hundreds-of-page documents can not adequately be summed up into 7 second sound bytes.

So don't challenge the president's foreign policy, you just don't understand it! But I understood Clinton's policies, and they were moronic!

Why? According to Al Jazeera he was a nice guy that would never hurt a fly, and he would never even consider using WMDs. 100% of his people absolutely love him, and he received 100% of the vote at his last election. Why would you want him removed?

So our choices here are agree with Bush or agree with Al Jazeera? What happened to the grey?

It sounds to me like you are ashamed that the US is the top dog in the world at the moment and that the UN has been proven to not work as flawlessly as Utopians imagined. Bush jumped through the UN bureaocratic(sic) hoops and the French essentially broke the system by absolutely refusing to listen to what Powell and the US had to say. It didn't matter, they were voting "No NO No" regardless. If you experience something like that (I have at my old job, thanks to the Boss's unqualified son having too much power) you lose respect for the system itself and you strike off on your own.

Yeah, I can see the parallels between nepotism in a (likely small) business and, oh, say, world affairs. I think you've got a good handle on things from Bush's perspective based on your life experience. In fact, you're just like him, a maverick hero who won't let politics get in the way of what's right! I think you need to get a bid for office going.

Did you expect the US, the world power, currently run by a Texan ( ), to back down and say "oh, you don't care? Alrighty, we'll just forget it all then."? If so, you are seriously disillusioned(Uh, disillusioned means not affected by illusion, disenchanted. I don't think that's what you meant at all). Regardless of what party, race, gender is in the White House, I expect them to not back down to terrorists, the French, French terrorists, or looney North Koreans.

But we WILL back down to special interest groups, right? It's all about the dollars. If the "French terrorists" (seriously, I can't tell how much you believe and how much is diversionary nonsense) dropped a hundred million into Bush's re-election fund, I doubt we'd catch them. And, uh, what
are we doing about the NKs? Is Kim Jong Il still oppressing his people, building nuclear weapons, generally being a terrible despotic lunatic? We're sure in....Liberia...right now, aren't we?
