Bush has not surrounded himself with wise counsel. He has a ton of "Yes" people around him, and that is the sure sign of a fool. War takes up all the budget, and that leaves very little for domestic issues. Another sure sign of a fool.

Bush is keeping him on.\n\nTranslation:"The hell with policy and the voice of our military"--Bush.\n\nBUSH has proven to be the INDISPUTABLE "Cowardly Defeatist"

Bush Is invading the middle east to establish his interest in the middle east oil trade once his term in office is over. \n\nHitler was on a mission to create a pure race, and trying to racially cleanse a nation. \n\nBoth are wrong, and considering 2 wrongs don't make a right. I don't see any difference, Both got people needlessly killed for their own agendas.

Same old answer - America seeks to dictate world policy instead of lead.  The stance is always all countries should support americas wars, policies and desires because it is in Americas interest.    Much of the time it is in the worlds interest but Bush simply does not seem to be able to articulate this.\n\nAs Americas influence continues to wain and China and Russia continue to prosper they are learning how to discuss and debate with other countries and are respected for it.  They will therefore grow to have more and more influence as America loses it's influence.\n\nSo yes - maybe Bush is leading america into the boondocks.\n\nAmericas economy is forecast to take another dive shortly and the American leadership needs to start talking to other countries on an equal footing.\n\nIran and Korea are another matter entirely.  Could you contemplate either country getting a nuke and not using it?  That really is a world problem that America/Bush needs to talk to other countries and learn leadership rather than trying to dictate or it could turn nuclear.

Blair's foreign policy is to follow US foreign policy. They did that in the first Gulf War when Majors, A conservative was in power why deviate now?   Also, you just gotta give the guy credit he has to defend his policies not just against the media, but an arguing session against the other party.

It's really not.  Sure, the President seems to be much more engaged in the international side of things, but Congress has always had a much more domestic role.  Because Congress has the power to set policy within the country, the biggest way that the President can exercise his power is through diplomacy and the military.  It's merely a matter of perception.

Bush is in way over his head.  He knew almost nothing about foreign policy when he got the job, so is easily swayed by the far right neoconservatives to run an aggressive and militaristic foreign policy with little in the way of diplomacy.  Heck, I'm sure Bush couldn't even point out Iraq or Iran on a world map when he was governor of Texas.\n\nAlso, Bush panders.  He has the Christian religious right on his side, and professes to be an evangelical himself.  I wonder about that.  It's convenient for him to act like the "good Christian" when such a huge voting block got him into office in the first place!\n\nIn short, Bush is an incompetent and dishonest president, and an embarrassment to this country.  Too bad the mainstream media lets him off the hook so much.

Bush administration is following wrong policies.\nThey may not be on a crusade but all their present targets are unfortunately Muslims who are rich in natural resources but far behind in technology, hence an easy prey.\nIn the ultimate analysis/conclusion USA will never win since their stance is based on in-justice, inequality and double standards.

This is actually a far more complicated issues.  The sentiments against US foreign policy started long ago.  The nature of the complaints about of policy has also changed over the years.  \n\nSome argue that the US is trying to wipe out Islam.  \nSome argue we are trying to corrupt them and force them to our devilish ways.\nSome argue we don't send them enough money.  \nSome argue we don't do enough to protect them from corrupt leaders.\n \nThere is no one reason that the Middle East is opposed to our policy.  But, for these folks just mention the war issue -> they need to take a nice hard look at the human rights track record of Middle Eastern countries.  Did someone miss the memo about Hussien tossing pregnant women into wood chippers?  Did someone miss the part about how long journalists is countries like Iran (which is not Arabs) spend in prison for supporting reformist views?

It may not be.  Support for President Bush's administration comes mainly in the arena of his efforts to prosecute the war on terror.  That one issue alone has defined his time in office.  There have been mistakes, misjudgements, and he hasn't seen a spending bill that he didn't like.  He's grown government faster than most Democrats could have thought possible, which is saying a lot.  He has made efforts in providing additional funding for disabled people, education (although no child left behind is a really bad program), and, believe it or not the environment.  War time presidents are often consumed with the second guessing and bad press regarding the war that they are on the constant defensive.  So, even though I do support the effort in prosecuting the war on terror (I think that the threat was identified early enough that President Clinton could and should have handled it in the 90's) I don't think that this administration is one of the best.  But compared to Clinton's willingness to deploy the military every time he thought it would make a good photo op, I think George is doing the best he can.

Actually, White House scandals are not all that important for foreign relations - Clinton is still a huge and prominent statesman figure around the globe and the Bush-CIA leak is seen as a rather odd american thing. Important for foreign relations is that which touches foreigners; witness the current row over CIA's extraordinary renditions and Guantanamo, or the Iran-Contras scandal, or indeed the justifications for the Iraq war - clearly the Administration lied about WMD and that is seriously harming American interests overseas.

Diplomacy should be exhausted before military action is ever taken against another country.  I think the art/science of diplomacy was alive and well until George Bush took office.  He's been thumbing his nose at other countries since he chose to completely disregard the UN before the war began, and he has taken that attitude throughout his whole Presidency, with not only the UN but other countries in general.  He has taken place in some diplomatic talks, but when it comes to actually listening and taking other country's plights or suggestions/desires into consideration he just doesn't bother.  I am hopeful we will experience a return to civil dialogue with other countries after he is finally gone in 2 years.  GW is the primary reason other countries have come to despise us at the level they do now.  I think if a President is elected in 2008 that is intelligent enough to understand the value of diplomacy we might have a chance to regain their respect and support.
