You guys suck at realpolitik. Sorry.

No your posts have simply become much more in-your-face. They don't extend a conversational hand; rather they ask for an in-your-face reply.

I gather you are arguing about the differences, not between Republicans and Democrats, but about Zbignew Brzezinski's testimony as to why he did what he did in Afghanistan and later recounting of what Bill Casey did. Neither are particular heroes of mine, though B is very sensible about Iraq right now.

As for whether Dems or Republicans are better at foreign policy, I really don't know how to answer that. Not a debate that interests me right now. Bush II is not doing well at the moment. He may improve. Who knows.

But if a measure of the smartness of a foreign policy is the degree of its unilateral character and that is Bush's foreign policy, then it is quite bad.
