And, he was just as dogged in his relection bid.
So, while there are quite a few issues where I strongly disagree with him on policy (CFR, AWB, southern border, Fallujah, etc), I can say that his phiolosophical speech seemed spot on. I believe, if he is to follow through on it and be true to it (and I believe in his second term he will be), we will see confrontation (economic, political, and/or military) with the likes of Iran, N. Korea, and most importantly, Red China, in addition to our continuingt efforts against radical Islam.
...and with the recent (and understandable) furor over the Chinese/Iraq infiltration of our southern border, perhaps will will see good progress there as well. We shall see.
Fregards.
At the same time, there are a few of his characteristics and policies to which I am diametrically opposed and which puzzle me greatly.
