Re: strong and confident leaders, and your definition or names of such...I am curious as to who you think some of these paragons of virtue are/were...I might choose Reagan, Eisenhower, Truman, Teddy Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln, George Washington....Definitely wouldn't choose Clinton, Carter, Kennedy, McGovern, etc...
you quoted from an article Scott posted:
Strong, confident leaders need not be arrogant leaders. Indeed, arrogance subverts effective leadership. Whether the issue is protection of the environment or protection of the homeland, the United States needs help. In securing America's safety, Mr. Bush must be careful not to create a fortress America that inspires the enmity rather than the envy of the world |
