If GW thinks that, he's waaaay out of touch.
Well, as far as that region goes, he's right. Nobody is worried about the Japanese. Korea is kinda on the back burner for the time being as well. China is always a worry.
In context to the question asked, he's probably right.

I think the president said one of the issues on American's minds...don't take my quick notes too literally for every single word the president said.
The Prez is in position to know what is what. There are some big problems and dangers and it would take a rare genius to figure out how to get past all of it. If there is such a genius anywhere on earth, he ought to speak up.
He can't possibly be THAT out of touch!
