The discussion of the limits of knowledge has, in fact, a great deal to do with the two candidates. Al Gore is someone who wants to pretend to be on top of everything relevant to his job. Bush makes no such pretense, he is clear that he will depend on good advisors. In the end, Bush is closer to understanding the way things actually work than Gore. Similarly, Bush is right not only to question our ability to impose our views on other nations, but to show a certain hesitation in assuming that our knowledge of the facts on the ground will supercede those of the local actors. Gore is much more eager to involve us in "nation building" and aggressive diplomacy. Gore thinks that Washington ought to be imposing all sorts of initiatives on the states and localities of the country, and Bush thinks that Washington has a modest role, and should largely depend upon states and localities to figure out how to best mind their own business. Washington can set some goals and standards, act as a clearinghouse of information, and supply some money to help promote desirable goals, but implementation is mostly made in the states and municipalities.
