Have you noticed how many of these issues--except for the military budget--we implemented pre-9/11? I wonder if this move to the Left on Global Warming is a compromise to placate the Europeans in exchange for help on the War on Terrorism.

I think you may be right on this.

Deja vu all over again...IMHO, this was one of the Reagan Administration's worst failings, as they allowed out-of-control domestic spending by the DemonRATS in exchange for allowing America to win the Cold War against the Evil Empire. I believe the War On Terrorism is a just war America MUST win...but we can't cede American Domestic policy to the Left in the process!! We just can't!!!

The War On Terrorism is justified on its own merits...attempts to blackmail America into accepting an Anti-American Leftist Agenda in exchange for protecting American citizens from Anti-American Religious Zealots is a Devil's Bargain, IMHO!!

After 9-11, we focused more on international issues and terrorism, not a bunch of other stuff. We did withdraw from the ICC. Now, I would say we need to watch Bush, but as of right now, I don't think we can say he is turning left as a result of war popularity. If this continues with little conservative actions in the next six months to a year, I will have to rethink this and perhaps agree he is deciding that he won't be a conservative anymore.
