But Bush seems to be honest (well he´s a politician, who can be sure?), and he in fact is no opportunistic chameleon. He got my respect after Sept 11 when he reacted well thought-out and calm. From that moment I knew that he´s no danger. But he also is no diplomat, that´s why many here are concerned about him.

Your media may portray President Bush as not being a diplomat, but the man is so smooth an operator that his opponents end up in second place or in agreeing with him - and they don't even realize that he has engineered the situation to go his way.

They say he is dumb, yet, for example, he was able to get a unanimous resolution out of the Security Council of the UN regarding Iraq.

Welcome to FreeRepublic. It is a wonderful place to learn and to exchange views.

You're spot-on with your assessment of Pres Bush....when was the last time he lost something he was fighting for?

I agree that he is no diplomat (i.e., politician), but that's his most endearing quality. I don't want politicians running our country. I want people with honesty, integrity, patriotism, and guts -- who won't sell their soul for a few votes.
