The Democrats view foreign policy as just an extension of domestic politics. They are much more concerned on how it will play in Peoria than what is in the best, long-term interests of the US. Ultimately, you can run, but you can't hide. Clinton tried that with AQ and we wound up with 9/11.
Yep, and I plan on saying it over and over.
Good governing cannot work being poll and focus group driven. US foreign policy has to be more than platitudes uttered every four years to get elected. It has to mean something.
