Bush to Outline Doctrine of Striking Foes First

Funny, last time I checked, terrorist nations like Saudi Arabia and Pakistan and the PLO were being negotiated with and protected, while the "axis" of evil nation N. Korea was having 2 nuke reactors built for it that it stated flat out would not be touched. The war on terror is turning into an excuse for anything but.

We're going to continue foreign aid. The shift in President Bush's thinking is to stop treating it like a welfare handout and more like a tool to advance America's national interests and put recipients in charge of building their own future. Which is about time. There's a lot to like in the President's new Doctrine, but what is clear is the Clinton gobbledygook of being dependent on the U.N and tied down by a web of treaties and alliances is gone. From now on the U.S will act first and foremost to uphold its survival and its national interests. Which by the way is the fundamental objective of every nation on earth, except the U.S has been told for a long time its shameful or arrogant to pursue these aims. Nonsense. This is the first foreign policy directive since Ronald Reagan that aims to make and keep America #1. Let's see our critics take issue with it for I and I suspect every American who loves our country believes this must be the paramount objective of our foreign policy and subsequent interaction with the rest of the world.
