I once saw him give a speech at a convention. The words sounded very familiar. They could have been taken verbatim from Fighting Terrorism.

Rudy is not an original thinker, nor does he have the intellect or vision to handle the increasing challenges to Unipolarity, nor the "brutal REALISM" that is needed in the mideast and South/Southeast Asia. We don't have a Suharto or Mahatir to keep the local Muzzies in line via the Billy Club and Carrot approach as was the case in the 1970s through early 1990s.

We need a Theodore Roosevelt attitude and vision, with a Kissengerian/Macchiavellian intellect, not a tougher version of the neoWilsonianism currently pushed by Bush, Giuliani, and the Weekly Standard.

Kissinger is an evil man, I won't put up with any of that. And I don't recognize any Wilson/Bushism in Rudy Giuliani, unfortunately. He doesn't seem committed to spreading democracy, even though he pays lip-service to the President's policies. That's a shame.
