Bush and his administration see it.
Bush and the coalition have done great things in the Middle East.
All one has to do is look at a map to see how his strategy is working.
Israel, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Kuwait, Turkey, Libya, Jordan, Qatar, etc .
The PLO, Syria, Iran and Saudi Arabia are getting a little outnumbered.
Changing some of the chess pieces in this age-old battle could bring people to the table and peace to the region.

The Kerry Doctrine: Kerry's World: Father Knows Best
All of this palaver and blather about how the world hates the US and they all want a Kerry win is so pathetic and disgusting that I just shake my head and wish they'd all just drop dead!
The problem for America and Americans is that WE are smack dab in the middle of an entire world gone mad! None of these foreigners can point to a political model or economic success that they've ever created or implemented that suggests that their visions are superior to what we in the US have accomplished. And with the rise of killer Moslemism, whatever we all do, from here on out, is a holding action to forestall the inevitable final moment of Armageddon. And it will come!
Thanx for posting the map. I've never been good at geography (I still need labels for those foreign states in the northern parts of Murca, LOL)
Studying the map makes Bush look like a genius. A successful democratic Iraq has Syria and Iran surrounded....
Foreign policy = US counterbalance. The european pursuit of power is unquenchable. It was the only real reason to create the EU in the first place. Specifically, the French think they should be a world leader because they think their culture is superior and their only motive is political power.
What has really got France's goat is that now they are the US culture is sufficating theirs to the point that they are opening complaining about it. Hell, they even want to make French the legal language of the EU.
Actually I see some sort of parallel between the US/EU and our presidential election.
Huh?
