A Democratic Foreign Policy

By (Jon Henke)
The QandO Blog

The Democratic Party has released a foreign policy prospectus — "The Democratic Plan to Protect America and Restore our Leadership in the World" [pdf] — detailing their plan for a US Foreign policy. After a quick read, it appears to contain some good ideas, some wheel-spinning programs, some wishful thinking and a lot of platitudes.

Basically, it’s just your average politicians press release:

Good Intentions x Money + Hope = Success!

However, in a story on the press conference announcement, the Washington Post offers us a fascinating insight into the careful, thoughtful (and reality-based!) deliberative process through which the Democratic Party creates a foreign policy...

<<< Democrats have polled extensively on national security, testing various possible messages for the fall, and found that the more emphasis put on securing the homeland, the more voters respond. According to one poll taken for the Democratic National Committee, nearly three-quarters of those surveyed responded positively to such a message, rather than a message that emphasized taking the fight to the terrorists and staying the course in Iraq. >>>


MESSAGE: Here’s the Democratic Foreign Policy — our vision for the future of America. If you don’t like it, we’ve got others!
