<Additionally, the government as a whole generally operates under the adage "politics stops at the waters edge", > In an increasingly interconnected world, politics won't stop at the water's edge. D'evil is in the details and the details of globalization are increasingly subject to political effects inside the moat. Spectrum is one such issue, for example. Congress passes laws on spectrum and those laws have an impact over the water. The President can't usurp Congress when spectrum issues with Mexico or China are being sorted out. There are two voices. The President can demand something or other in regard to spectrum in an international forum, but Congress is calling the shots and they might disagree with another arm of government and the Democratic party might have other ideas again, which should be up for discussion in public. They do it differently in Jiang's and Hu's China, Stalin's USSR and Saddam's Iraq. I prefer the USA way, messy though it might be. Mqurice
