I think that much of what is wrong here is the result of binary thinking. The real world is not that simple. Many wish it so because that makes everything easier. Decision trees generally have values assigned to each binary choice and ones personal values affect the chosen path through the decision tree. That's why I prefer a person with well thought out moral values making these decisions, i.e.: Bush. I've not seen the slightest evidence that anything Bush "thinks" is either well-thought-out or moral. Bush is the ultimate expedient politician, pandering to one group of righties after another. Your not "Seeing" any evidence doesn't surprise me. You can't just listen to the news, you have to read what is said by the parties involved. When you do this you will probably say; " but that's not what he said". That happens to me allot. Your problem is that you want to believe what you read and you probably seek out news that supports your bias. On foreign policy there is not enough information released about the decision tree for us to judge. This is the result of "secrecy" requirements. On environmental policy, education policy, SS we do have enough information to judge him and I find his policies rational, reasonable and good for the country in both the short term and long term. One of the reasons our foreign policy appears to be working is the CONSISTENT policy by BUSH and the reelection of BUSH by America. The previous presidents including Bush SR. policies were political expediency. In the long term that's fatal, in the short term popular. It is costing us lives and money. Much of the cost and lives can be attributed to educating the world to these new facts. He means what he says and America backs him. I expect that our enemies are rethinking their strategy in the face of this reality. Expect interesting times. I expect that Iran does not want us out of Iraq any time soon as this frees us to respond to them. But they don't want a Democracy in Iraq either as this would destabilize them. I expect that they will try to start a religious war in Iraq. |
