The discussion and perceived isolationism attributed to President Bush was simply a figment of the liberal mainstream media's imagination. The radical environmentalists who inflict America with their religion on the mainstream airwaves just couldn't believe Bush would have the gall to toss out the ridiculously flawed Kyoto Protocols. He did, and they had a fit. It's really as simple as that. This thread dissected, debated, and dialogued the Kyoto Protocols for weeks. And with the exception of some blind followers of the left, clearly determined it was an extremely flawed document which would have crippled America's growth and prosperity. While simultaneously handed that growth over to China and India who were exempt from any emission standards. Since you were sucked into this "Bush is an isolationist" stereotyping media image. Perhaps you would like to be more specific regarding a) what policies Bush followed which makes him an isolationist and b) How those policies translated on the world stage? Barring any kind of serious analysis on your part, your perceptions will simply be taken as talking point generalities without any real meaning. At least by this thread reader...

Thanks for sharing your views. A good positive way to look at this is that a strong relationship between Russia and the U.S. would be fantastic for us, the Russians and the entire world. This whole episode (9-11 tragedy) is really giving a chance for hostile countries to make a positive choice to join the international community and play by the rules of a civilized society. Because this is RIGHT by most measures it will help their own polulations and also make it more difficult for the hate & kill crowd (terrorists) to flourish. The whole world will benefit and we can all share in fruits of the prosperity that will be created by elimination of this cancer. And my view is that Putin shares this vision and wants to be part of it.
