Latin America: Aside from putting in time at some cholo festivals in Queens, Rudy has indicated as much knowledge of our neighbors to the south as, well, the average chump on a barstool, not much. Its telling that he was close to Herman Badillo, a man who, judging from his recent book and his speeches, is a mental midget who believes his Nuyorican background applies to the rest of the hemisphere. I am leading off with LA because the region is the one most immediately in our sphere of influence, and also because it where I have worked and traveled (as well as studied) the most.
2. The Middle East: Rudy's knowledge of this region appears to consist only of Likud party talking points regurgitated second hand from the Sidecurl and Kippah Mafia in Brooklyn. Nevertheless, I'm sure he is probably more knowledgable about this region than LA.
3. Europe: Being a Eurocon in terms of outlook and poltics, more so than a rock ribbed American conservative, Rudy should relate well to the likes of Sarkozy and Merkel. So he gets points here.
4. Asia: Being that this is THE emerging region in terms of economic and poltical power, with two countries likely to emerge as the counterbalance in the emerging bi/multipolar world, I hope that Rudy is studying these areas more than he did in the insular environment of his administration.
As to the rest of your post, it doesn't look much different from what was slung up and spewed all over FR in '99 and 2000 about President Bush; except that you have now used more pejorative language and veered off pretty darned close into the N word territory.
Come on now. Badillo helped reform CUNY while Rudy was mayor and was a trusted advisor.
I am sure that Rudy knows that commie Chavez is evil and understands the geo-political situation in Latin America.
As far as the Mid-East goes, he knew that Arafat was a terrorist prior to 9/11 and kicked him out of some city events and he fully understands more than anyone that these jihadists want to kill us. He also refused money from a Saudi scumbag after 9/11 when the Saudi claimed that the US was partially to blame for 9/11.
Guiliani is from New York, which is a city based on diversity and home of the UN. He fully appreciates what is happening in Europe and China. He also has shown that he has the balls to stand up to union scumbags in NYC and will stand up to the Chinese, the jihadists and the frogs, as needed.
In sum, going after Rudy for his record on social issues is on thing, however, goigng after him on foreign policy is quite a stretch, given his track record.
