It is the same, you idiot. When you negotiate and allow yourself to be run over by the other party, that party is your enemy for this negotiation.

The point is we are a sovereign. Bush recognizes it. The Left doesn't. There are a lot of us who believe the UN has had far too much power over the United States foreign policy. For us, Bush has been a breath of fresh air.

The UN is weak. I don't want a weak entity with veto power over our foreign policy. If a president thinks we need to get rid of Saddam, who in hell is the UN to tell us we can't do it?

re: Personally, I find Bush's rhetoric refreshing. The kind of "diplomacy" you're talking about is what led us to the mess in NK blah blah blah

I was talking about diplomacy with our allies, you idiot.


That's a tricky concept for DR to get. To him, "diplomacy with our allies" means you're either for us or against us!
