Bush can be a blunderer on foreign affairs. At least admit that. Heck, he'd hardly been out of the country before 2001. Give us a break. The guy is learning by trial and error. Powell plus Cheney and the rest of the chickenhawks are calling most of the shots, and sometimes argue amongst themselves. His Father was the one who told GW to lay off NK by the way, partly because Carlyle Group has a lot of $$$ interests in Korea and that's where the Bush bread is buttered. Also because Bush Sr. actually knew what he was doing on foreign affairs. And he knows it's not smart to get into a pissing contest with a skunk unless you have a big stick and the skunk doesn't. GW is the most unpopular president internationally we've had since Nixon. A really bad ambassador to the world. And he's gotten there despite HUGE goodwill post 9-11. A true unilateralist fronting for neo-conservative intellectuals like Bill Kristol who feel the US ought to control the world. And if UK polls are right GW may bring Tony Blair down with him. English are about 75% against Bush foreign policy. And all of Europe hates Bush on the environment, right-wing social issues and corporate corruption. None of which Republicans in this country care about, apparently. I guess it's us versus them now. No more New world order. My my way or the highway, and a trillion dollar deficit to back it up.
