This is the article he wrote for Foreign Affairs magazine that everyone is talking about, that's why I put it into Frontpage news -- hope it's OK. I think people need to read it to see for themselves.

To say this is naive is an understatement. Just like the Dems, he blames America first and thinks that the solution is for the US to get down on its knees in front of all the other countries and ask them to "please love us". Heck, he is worse than Hillary -- closer to Kucinich. He thinks that "lack of sanitation and healthcare, etc" causes terrorism, not the radical Islamist philosophy. I guess he is not aware that many high livel terrorists -- including Atta and Zawahiri, not to mention Bin Laden come from middle class, even rich families and have been highly educated.

How can he be leading in the polls of Republican voters?!

He also doesn’t understand that you can’t negotiate with anti-US dictatorships, who only use any diplomacy to keep us from interfering with their pursuit for uclear weapons.

He thinks he can solve the problem with Iran with diplomacy — and it is really our fault, because we weren’t diplomatically aggressive — translation — give Iran everything they want, so they can laugh themselves silly, while they are building nuclear bombs and missiles.

This is what Huck says:

“Another way to contain Iran is through diplomacy. We must be as aggressive diplomatically as we have been militarily since 9/11. We must intensify our diplomatic efforts with China, India, Russia, South Korea, and European states and persuade them to put more economic pressure on Iran. “

Gee, Huck, is al Qaeda mad because they weren’t invited to the prom?

Lack of freedom is the chief cause of terrorism. Or the belief/delusion that a person lacks freedom and/or is being oppressed.

There is also the notion that WE can fix other societies. We don’t even know where to start on this. The only method that appears to work is to totally destroy the society, as we did Germany and Japan, and then start rebuilding.

I’m pretty sure that’s not what he has in mind.

We must first destroy existing terrorist groups and then attack the underlying conditions that breed them: the lack of basic sanitation, health care, education...

The Huckster is an idiot! Those things do not create and breed terrorism!!! What breeds terrorism is chiefly two things: Islam, and a lack of political freedom. What the Huckster says about the things that breed terrorism could be said about rural China. But China isn't bustling with terrorists.

Does this make him a “surrender spam monkey,” too?

What a fool. He is the only Republican nominee with such an idiotic view of Islamic terrorism.

Anyone but Huckabee.

As president, my goal in the Arab and Muslim worlds will be to calibrate a course between maintaining stability and promoting democracy.

How can he be leading in the polls of Republican voters?!

It’s a “calibrated” effort between the media and those gullible enough to swallow whatever they put out there on any given day. He tries to sound tough yet accomodating at the same time.

Our enemies would love to see him in charge.

Compare this to the article Rudy wrote for Foreign Affairs in approximately July...he was contrasted by John Edwards.

John Edwards sounded like a war hawk compared to this guy...

Yeah, lets fix all the sanitation problems of the Muslim world.

Anyone been to Karachi? You can SMELL it 20 miles out to sea. It's clearly the filthiest place on earth that I've ever seen. I will concede that other have told me some of the large Arab cities are worse...

I read this when it was posted earlier.

Gov. Huckabee says he would have followed the “Powell Doctrine” and sent 450,000 troops to invade Iraq. This figure is close to the total number of active duty personnel in the U.S. Army.

This kind of wisdom is characteristic of somebody whose sole military experience consists of reviewing the Arkansas National Guard.
