<Carter talked the talk, but never walked the walk.> Unfortunately, that's true. I liked his Ideas, better than any President since Wilson. But it does no good, in fact the ideas get discredited, if the leader can't turn the Ideas into "facts on the ground". The pacifists and multi-lateralists are not going to be trusted, by the American people, to defend our national interests, until they show the same level of Vigor and Backbone and ClarityOfPurpose, as the NeoCons and Realists. What the Doves need, is a leader with Carter's goals and Nixon's cleverness; Wilson's goals and Teddy Rooseveldt's vigor. Someone who nobody looks at and says, "wimp!". Somebody who'd remember to wear make-up, suit and tie, to their crucifixion. I will be very surprised, and admit I was wrong, if Bush does a better job bringing FreedomAndDemocracy to Iraq, than Johnson did in Vietnam, or T. Rooseveldt did in Cuba. I was thinking more about, "deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed" (no, a foreign army can't substitute for this)
