Bush's Mandate

[Bobber58]

the Soviet Union lay down and bared it's throat...and while there was looting and sacking, the "evil" capitalist state didn't rip their throat out...thereby proving our benevolent attitude.

When the game changes, the rules change too...Clinton, despite his personal intelligence, didn't understand the fact that this world will never be utopia...it will always engage a struggle of good against evil, and we aren't the evil ones. Great good requires great evil to oppose it.

This is one thing Bush understands, and so brings in people who understand it also. Rice fully understands Russia, and its offspring. She is best suited to lead our policy on the face, if not in the cubicles and offices of our foreign policy bureaucracy.
