Have you every played Risk or Diplomacy or Chess or any game that requires strategy and thinking 3, 4, 5 steps ahead? Sometimes you sacrifice a pawn here or there to lure the queen out. Sometimes you make an alliance with an enemy who has something to gain from you and in return you crush the larger enemy together. Then you come back and pressure the smaller enemy to accept democracy, human rights, pluralism, etc.

Yes, we've been brilliant at this kind of play. In fact, Bush is just the president to participate in such a complicated strategy.

BTW do you know who interceded on Turkey's behalf when the EU was trying to pressure Turkey to stop with its human rights violations and told the EU to chill? Why Mr. Bush of course.

MM, the above strategy is your fantasy and has little to do with American foreign policy as it currently stands. Sorry.
