<The Dems are all about "Confer with our Allies," "Go after Bin Laden," "Make friends of the Arabs again." These are all Euphemisms for "do little or nothing." "Don't make waves."> Well my post-9/11 idea was to slaughter 50,000 Afghanis more or less at random. Certainly can't call that doing nothing.

>>The world is too dangerous today for us to afford a Democratic President<< Does that include a more hawkish Hillary?

It is in what is said and what is left out. Well, I guess that's better than making it up out of whole cloth... When we infer from what is said and left out, we do so based on sparse information and we fill in the blanks from our biases. What has been said so far has been said from within the context of partisan or principled opposition and also the context of intra-party skirmishes. No one has set out a foreign policy plank. They would be nuts to have done so. But pretty soon we will have a nominee and that nominee will have to have one. Then we will know, or at least have a good idea. Right now, we have only some overtures. Friedman put forth a potential approach for Kerry either because he thinks that's what Kerry thinks or because that's what he'd like Kerry to think. There was another column I read here today, can't find it now, that spoke about Bush, Bush lite, and some yet unknown alternative. There will be others putting ideas out there to influence Kerry or whomever. I think that when it comes out without mention of cut and run you will find that you were badly mistaken. If so, I will remind you... <g>
