In less than two years, Bush has savaged conventional wisdom by dropping the anti-ballistic missile treaty, green-lighting Star Wars, walking away from the Kyoto global warming pact, boycotting a United Nations conference on human rights and saying no to the new international criminal court in The Hague. He has taken the U.S. to war without the permission of a coalition, restored "good" and "evil" to the language of big-power diplomacy and introduced an American defense doctrine of unilateral preemption. And now he is insisting that the price of self-determination should be civilized behavior.

This is a foreign policy revolution unmatched even by President Ronald Reagan.

Wow - what a summation. (Pinging some others to read this). Thanks for the post.

A great article. To me, the biggest point is the use of 'seemingly unconventional' when describing the President. This is why the left hates him, and the far right loathe him- he is unpredictable and doesn't think inside the box of any political philosophy.

Bush's success is a great frustration to his worldly critics, and a great mystery. They do not understand how such a rube (the man never even spent a semester in Europe) keeps getting his way with foreigners.

It's real simple .. You are either with us .. or you are with the enemy

Meaning .. either jump on the wagon or be left out .. and we WILL remember who our friends are ..
