I wonder how the nations of the world consider the effectiveness of Bush's military threat.

This is a much bigger issue than most people realize. By exposing such stark limits to the American ability to use conventional military power, every rogue regime in the world knows we could destroy them if we had to, but we are very unlikely to act otherwise since our conventional military is stretched to the breaking point along with our budgets and Bush's political room to maneuver.
